Philharmonia Orchestra trumpet player Mark David has completed the grueling Marathon Des Sables in the Sahara Desert.
You can find out how he got on and read all about how he prepared for the 6 day race in Mark's blog on The Sound Exchange.
Extract: "It's amazing how touring with the Philharmonia can help prepare you for the toughest footrace on earth. One thing travelling around the world with 100 others teaches you is how to queue. The queues at airport check-in, security, immigration, bus, hotel check-in, are a regular part of Philharmonia life and it was strange to see so many people agitated and stressed at this."
