Day 6 - Chris v the Sag Camels

Last night I spent 2 hours in the medical tent having blisters cut and taped.  My "blister" red raw flesh Inside both heels, balls of both feet and both little toes.  My Feet were so impressive people were taking photos!  Today was 42.2km with a 12 hour cut off.  I can barely walk so my only option was to try to shuffle.  I did that until about 9k when we climbed the first of 2 stony ridges.  At the top of the second one, I couldnt walk.  The field went by me and it took 40 mins to go about 400m.  Finally at the bottom I looked around and the sag camels were behind me.It was 50C, I needed to ave 3kph and was doing 1-2kph.  No real choice but to pull out. Thanks for all your support. :)
