Fun Fact: 98 Hours in the Sahara
The Sahara, the world’s largest hot desert, stretches roughly 4,800 kilometers from east to west. Even walking nonstop at 5 km/h for 98 hours, you would cover about 490 kilometers, only around a tenth of the way across. If you’re planning your own endurance challenge (mental or physical), a 98 hour timer might just be your new favorite tool.
