Information from the Darbaroud website tells us that Paul completed the first stage of 31.6km (hooray) in 4 hrs 43 mins, coming 154th out of 797, the 12th British runner over the line. An excellent first day result, especially as the route went straight up a huge sand dune after the first kilometre and was reputedly the hardest first day of the race's history.
No email from the man himself yet, so we wait with baited breath for an overnight satellite transmission (or for the email to be released from my over-zealous Mail Defender).
Pretty picture of the start to whet your appetites....
