An amazing few days, an unbelievable experience which I will never forget.

The day itself was very tough. The run was gruelling. It’s like nothing I have ever experienced before. Some of the climbs were so high that it wasn’t actually possible to run up them –you could only walk them. However, the Alpine scenery was spectacular and the views were amazing. It makes you wonder how people can go back to just running regular marathons after the Alpine Marathon experience.

The most important thing is that we finished it and lived to tell the tale! It was the greatest feeling in the world to cross that finish line!

Went for a few celebratory drinks in downtown Davos on Saturday night, although most of us didn’t last too long due to the sheer exhaustion of the day.

Had some further celebrations when we got home, I even wore the medal out with me on Sunday night–created quite an interesting talking point!

Still can’t believe it’s all over. Even though it was tough going, it was worth all the pain. If someone asked me to do it all over again, I would. I’m now entertaining the thought of doing the New York City Marathon next.

It’s certainly been an inspirational experience. Despite all the blood, sweat and tears we got through it. All our hard work paid off.

We never gave up and that’s what got us there in the end.
