I don't think there are words to describe the experience. It's like going to the pit of the earth/the pit of humanity and living to tell about it. Great race; great scenery; great people. Nobody wants to see anyone "fail" here, although it is the enormous challenge and the chance of failure that make it special.

This event has a tradition of very good management and organization. Thanks for Chris Kostmann and his wonderful crew below him. One question: Do you sleep anytime Chris, or never?

Thank you very much dear Chris Kostman and your team for the perfect organization at the 2004 race.

The more absurd the training methods, the better prepared you'll be for this emotional roller coaster in the desert.
Dehydration, sleep deprivation and hallucinations are just some of the highlights you can anticipate.
