How the hell do you find a spot to lay down and sleep without having rocks stick in your arse?
well i know it sounds funny, but after a while you a. simply dont care and b. you are too tired to think about it too much or c. you just get used to it.
its an "extreme" race, so everything relates around that format. and i mean literally everything.
in the tents, you sleep on top of a moroccan rug. some take a sleeping mat (many diff kinds). i didnt. i took a thin thing which was designed to retain your body warmth and not allow the cold to rise and make you freeze (which you do!).
worked perfectly. but needless to say, its still uncomfortable sleeping on the floor and you dont really get a good sleep all week while there. i prb slept about 11 hours in 6 days. and thats the truth.
