And I was going to run across it.Īfter dark, the other runners were sitting round a fire, chatting about how tough the first stretch had been. It was the end of the first day of an ultra-marathon a seven-day, 155-mile run in some of the most forbidding territory anywhere on Earth - freezing peaks, incessant wind and that desolate, lifeless scrubland known as the Gobi desert.
