    I've been training for months and it really paid off! I walked with a group of 12 people and we walked 33 km the first day at about a pace of 12 min a km. I was ok, some team members had blisters and one team member was burnt out. She did not train that much and did not join us on second day.

    I slept very well that night and was stiff when I got up, but had no pain. On Sunday, we left as a group around 7:30 for the 27km trek and for some reason, we were walking faster at a pace around 11 min a km. At around 9am, we met up with a group that had started walking at 6:30!

    We kept up the quick pace and got to our destination at around 2 pm, a full two hours before the start of the closing ceremony. It was a great feeling as many people cheered us on and im very proud of achieving this great feat (pun intended)!

    Other than the three blisters on my feat, im feeling great and will probably do it again next year.
