Well what can I say...it was really really hard! but the sense of achievement afterwards and knowing that you have become a member of a very exclusive club is amazing.
I hope by putting this in the forum it will inspire other riders to give it a crack, the founder Andy Van Bergen has a clip on Youtube and says that over 51% of people that attempt an Everesting don't make it.
That just gave me more motivation to do it and hopefully will do for others as well. Don't get me wrong the stats don't lie and it was the hardest thing I have ever done BUT it is in your hands.
It took me around 17 hours moving time but 26 hours in total...a lot of that time was wasted with Garmin problems, needing better lights, longer breaks because of my knee's etc etc.
The body starts to shut down at a certain point and then it's all a mind game....how strong is yours.
I hope to read some other people's Everesting achievements in this forum soon.
