An emotional ending!
July 27, 2009Can’t believe it’s all over! It’s such a comedown now, I actually feel quite sad that’s its all behind us. Loved every minute of it – from beginning to end and it’s really weird now to think it’s all over and done with.
The day itself was quite overwhelming. We were all nervous at the beginning. There were hundreds of people there from all over the world speaking different languages. It was really nerve wrecking because we had no idea what to expect.
Myself and Trevor ran the course together. I was great to have that bit of company and support to keep you going. We helped each other through it, whenever one was having a low point the other would spur them on. Team work at its best!
It was really emotional to see all three of us cross the finish line. There were tears galore, such an overwhelming day and we were so proud of each other. It really made it all worth it in the end.
Taking it easy now, it’s hard to come back to reality after the last few days.
But onwards and upwards as they say-I’m now swapping my trainers for a dress and heels. I’m off to Donegal to represent Down in the Mary of Dunloe festival this week! Never a dull moment!
I’m definitely going to keep up the running, I’m now considering doing the Causeway Coast Marathon in October –not planning on hanging up my trainers any time soon!
Overall,it has been an amazing few months. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and if it wasn’t for Powerade I would never have had the chance to do it. An unforgettable experience!
Would do it all again in a heartbeat!

The best information i have found exactly here. Keep going Thank you
Well done Angeline. I have been following this as I was an unsuccessful applicant. I think what you and the others have done is brilliant. So many times you see someone getting an oppertunity like this and moaning the whole time. I am so glad to hear you completed the challenge and are now going to continue your running. Maybe see you at the Causeway Marathon. Well done and take care!
