That said, what does an 18 percent completion rate say about the "soundness"
of the state of endurance in such a "prestigious race"?
Perhaps "endurance" should be replaced with "survival".

In a region which seems to have a lot of sand, it sure seems the conditions
were "perfect" to stage a race and invite the rest of the world to come play
in the home conditions, eh?
(What better way to ensure from which region a "winner" would emerge.)
I know, I know, after all, it IS the President's Cup.....

Congratulations, Heather, you "represented" well.
