BASICALLY A WAY TO KEEP PEOPLE INFORMED OF WHAT I AM UPTO. YOU SEE, MOVING TO DUBAI IS A PRETTY BIG STEP AND PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING...

So what's been happening?
Matt: Since we last spoke, We got a team together and entered the Wadi Bih relay again this year. It's the 3rd time I've run the race and it's always an entertaining day. Scott and Lucy we out of action this year so we dragged in the Irish (Ciaran and Abbie - to be sure *cringe, sorry!*). They seemed to really enjoy the day thankfully.
The boys, Lenny, Ciaran and I, all camped out on Dibba beach the night before the race. The girls, Kelly and Abbie, decided the 2 hour drive at 6am was much more preferable. We all set off from the start-line at around 8am, ran up the mountain to 1,000 metres above sea level and then back down for a total of 72km and concluded the run at around 2pm - where we were presented with medals and a much needed buffet lunch. Exhausting but fun. The vibe is very relaxed and all the other teams scream encouragement at you when you're running.
All in all a great day :)
Ciaran runs in the blistering heat.. trooper!
