Le Trans Aq Day 4 34km Night Stage

The toughest run of my life. Up the 350ft largest sand dune in Europe, along 3km then into deep forest. I'm forced to run with fast runners to avoid getting lost. I run out of water and arrive in 4hrs 53min confused and trembling. I realise something is wrong and go to the medical tent. They run some tests and I'm hypoglycemic. They fill me full of cola and force me to cook and eat something at 3am. 3 hours of bad sleep, up at 6.30am for day 5 - 35km. Its blazing hot, I need to go slow and recover as I was in a real mess last night
