More pain

Remember this? The competition my sister did last year? Well she did it again. Except that it was 98 instead of 86 kms... Just a slight difference! Imagine, almost 100 km and more than 5600 m of altitude change...

It looked like that this year:

Like last year, my stomach hurt, like last year, I kept pressing the refresh button when she was supposed to pass the several stages and her name hadn't appeared yet. Like last year, I went to bed late and woke up early. Like last year The first thing I did when I woke up was to check if she was still running. And she was! At that point, I knew she was going to finish.

And she did it of course, she finished. In 25h56mn53s. And it was very tough. Out of 2000 people, around 700 gave up, 1/3!!! It was very hot, around 30 degrees and apparently very hard according to the competitors. I think she can be very proud that she finished. And she is she told me.

And I am proud of my little sister. And in around 30 min, I'll be able to give her a biiiig hug and congratulate her. She must have landed by now. The beginning of two years living together, yipee!!!
