Record Breaking Attempt - Day 14

On Day 14, Paul had to make a quick decision and cut short his distance because he had over estimated his speed. The sand dunes along the beaches and the blisters on his feet had slowed him down to 3.2km/hr. It was good we had a cool weather at max 20^oC and min 12^oC. So instead of doing 67km as scheduled, he only covered 55km in 17 hrs 20 mins. He finally get to sleep at 2.00am.
