Seeing such a huge crash in monster size dunes really shook me up

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Day 10, double digits but also double the brutality! Words cannot describe how brutal and challenging this day of the Africa Eco race was. Consisting of 70% sand and at least 125 km of giant soft sand dunes and some very poor quality rocky tracks, it was really hard going.
In this extra warm part of Mauritania I had to be vigilant with watching my bike and my body temperatures throughout the Erg Chinguetti dunes, the largest and most magnificent dunes in the country, reaching heights of up to 400meters! After racing over 4,000km so far my body is fatigued, my energy levels are low and I needed to dig deep.
I can definitely understand why being able to say you finished the original Dakar is such a huge achievement. 10 days down and 3 tough ones to go but I continue to fight with everything I have. Look out Dakar I'm coming!
Please let me know in the comments below any questions you have or if you enjoyed the video, make sure to give it a thumbs up, thank you for watching.

    Good stuff ! Next time you feel like crying think of how lucky you are to be having this unique experience. A dream for the rest of us with all kind of bounding responsibilities. For your wrist pains I would try to twist the throttle with my forearm instead of my wrist. I used to have severe wrist pain but then I learned how to rotate my forearm instead and wrist is fine ever since (and I ride a lot). It also helps to assume a proper attack position standing up with elbows out. Godspeed!

    Wow Vanessa, this one was a very tough one. Waking up feeling down was not a great start and being surrounded by the team and many pairs of breeding knickers is enough to knock anyone down another notch. You did great though, yes there were a few emotional moments that is completely understandable as this is a task of endurance. Seeing a big off is another negative for self esteem but you rode through it with compassion for the injured person. That helipede bit was fun though, bloody big insects in that thar desert, so big you could carry a person in one. I'm looking forward to the next instalment. A tough one that so many have attempted but so many gave fallen along the way, maybe they were attacked by a hoard of multiplying knickers during the night, we may never know. Whatever, the rule of bum is don't get you knickers in a twist.

But would you have learnt the mental stamina to stand through such a race without 2014? For, after what you went through back then, everything must look like kind of a smaller issue.

    One thing people need to understand is how the body works and how we transfer our energy back and forth when we cuddle and snuggle with our partners. Their energy transfers via touch and their energy returns. This is the perfect way to heal yourself and each other. Being apart from your husband must be lonely, but also you will feel empty without his touch which when we fall in love, become addicted to it and need to touch each other all the time. Maybe you can get your husband to join the base camp team next time?
