After one incredible week in Jordan, spanning four deserts in temperatures reaching over 40 degrees Celsius, covering 150 miles over mostly soft sand with my 9.5kg backpack (not including the weight of the water I carried), I have completed the race!

And ...  I came in as fourth woman out of 39 women competitors and overall 32nd out of 144 entrants.  I also won an award for winning in my age category (apparently just because I feel 21 years old, that doesn’t count).  Pretty good for someone who not so long ago was told they may never walk again, even if I do say so myself!

I will be posting up a log of my week at the end of this week, just for anyone who would like to read about what it was like.

In the meantime, thank you to everyone who supported me and sent me some lovely emails during the event which I was able to read in the cyber tent. And also for making it possible for me to reach my target of £1000 for Shelter Box!! HOORAY to all you amazing people!! We did it!
