Departed 11am Wed, 12th March 2025.  No pacers, one support crew of two people in one pick up truck traveling in front  8 - 10kms where I stopped to re-fill water and get more nutrition.  For the entire run I carried a hydration vest, poles, thermal blanket, first aid kit, whistle, phone, 1.2liters water, nutrition and other items as needed.  Additional food, water, spare shoes/clothes were carried on the vehicle and used when needed.  Vehicle generally would not move with me and wait for my re-supply and move forward and wait again however drove near me twice when there was Bedouin tribes dogs barking at me for a couple of kilometers.  Running into a strong headwind for the first 7 hours then it dropped when the sun went down, weather was 25 degrees celsius by day and around 9 degrees by early morning, moon was out and no clouds generally good weather aside from the wind guest of estimated 40km/hour.
