Dr. Botha is into leg six and doing very well. I was able to talk to him for a few minutes and he sounds tired (obviously) but enthusiastic! I relayed all the messages of luck and strength from this blog and Facebook. He was very thankful!
At this point many people have dropped from the race, but he is still going strong. He has about 200 km left to go and Arlene says another racer with the Totem Butterfly has been keeping them company on the road. All the best to her and her team as well!!
The heat is sitting at close to 40 degrees Celcius and is making things difficult. Hopefully it will cool down soon. Keep Dr. Botha in your thoughts and prayers! Thanks!
Do it! Do it! Do it Arno!!
