With the bottom back to "comfortable" and the legs well on the way to recovery it's amazing just how quickly the unpleasantness has started to fade. Getting home, reading the blog and finding out that I raised my target of £1000 has really given me a sense of accomplishment that I think was lost of the day of completion. In fact the charity aspect had all but receeded into the memory banks. I'm sure with every passing day and week the achievement and dare I say the desire to do something similar again will grow.
To all those people who thought the incessant moaning about how hard it was and how sore and tired we all were was a bit much I can assure you it really was horrible. And with nothing else to focus on for hours at a time it was pretty much the only topic of conversation.
It was a very odd experience because it was at the lowest points that I felt the most enthusiastic about the trip. I guess it was the tough stuff that made it an adventure and a challenge and therefore worthwhile. I'm glad I've done it and nearly 48 hours after completing it I would consider doing something similar.
Finally a big thanks to Adam, Neal, Richard, all those that sponsored us and took an interest.
The final thanks is to Zoe who's been supportive of the whole endeavour. Allowing me time to train, making sure she came over to Paris to see us in and not getting tired of my moaning about how hard it was.
Thank you all and I'll see you all again next year! (Maybe)
