The Camels are now preparing to fly down to Texas to convene for some additional preparations prior to the race. Three going via London, one via Doha. Water levels are still looking low and with no storms predicted the Camels will have to draw on some of their namesake's overland ability to scale the "log jams". There is a lot of talk on the race forums of this year being a "Real Safari" and, I quote "a real test of the paddlers innards" - having said that this quote comes from the same forum which produced the comment below in response to the posting of the entry list (entry posted verbatim):"Wotts with this team from DUBAI? Where is it located? Do they have rivers there? Can they bring one with them? Do they know how to paddle in mud? Inquiring minds want to know."
That was posted by rrat on the forum, hopefully we can look him up when we're there and point the Middle East out on a map!
Final yoga session tonight at Oriental Yoga in Dubai, besides some exercises provided to keep the Camels bendy during the race, its also next door to the Alabama Dental clinic, not far from Texas. Thanks Oriental for the help in preparing.
