2:16AM... After 18 hours 36 minutes 46 seconds and a gruelling trail of 70KM... It was finished. Our team decided not to continue with the 100KM walk any further. Soaked wet from rain, severe muscle cramps, spasms in the back, injuries and blisters forced us out of the walk. We decided it wasn't worth pushing ourselves further with risk of damaging our body further. So we dropped out....
But I was really proud of my entire team! Considering we were totally unprepared both in terms of knowledge, equipments and training for this walk... conquering a massive 70KM on foot is already an amazing feat!! No joke man! But we will TRY AGAIN next year and conquer it!
That's the attitude of a conqueror, demostrating perseverance right? NEVER giving up in anything until we succeed! A hero lives to fight another day!
Up next... Swissotel Vertical Marathon this coming Sunday. 73 storeys and 1336 steps... HERE I COME!!!
[Photos are in the midst of compilation and coming soon! Stay tuned!]
