30/03/2008 - Echos A piece of good advice This morning, David Cook (629) got a text message from his son Matt, ten, specifying: “I love you dad, good luk, don’t die”. Olé ! Michel Rubio (417) is one of the many representatives of the Grand Duché of Luxemburg (22 runners, including 6 women). But he wants to pay homage to his Spanish roots, and does so in style: he has grown a triumphant moustache for the occasion, he runs wearing a huge beret and he regularly plays “castanuelas” in the dunes… Some paradox John Coles (690) trained for his Marathon des Sables by running in flooded areas: the parallel with running in dunes surely is obvious enough. Fashion American runner Marianne Demarco (482) caused much sensation on the bivouac: she was wearing a skirt! A sweet old style white tennis skirt, if you must know… Sweet tooth Tomas Fortune (713) was heart broken this morning when he had to leave behind a huge bag of jelly beans before the opening stage. We still don’t know if the camels enjoyed them.
