It was incredibly fun looking back, I would love to do it again and would recommend anyone ( especially young ) to do it.
Anyway, here is a funny picture of what they drew out of just one blister on the 3rd day.

An hour after the race they removed the infected skin from my feet whilst I lay on the floor of a tent, I had to get tramadol for the next few days until I got back home. I don't know how more people don't die, someone's heart stopped, another was in a coma for a week and that is just the ones I have heard about.

Seriously, well done - impressive achievement.
