Great News! Today is the last day of the Everest Walking competition and my team has made it to the bottom of the mountain.
As a Team, we’re currently ranked in 7th Place. The impressive part (remember that in the screenshot, only the top 3 on the team are averaged) for 6 people is this we’ve walked 2,680,488 steps between us. Yes, thatβs over 2.6 million steps. When you do the math, here’s how it worked out –
2144 km β we have walked the distance between Dublin, Ireland and Malaga, Spain and back again!
On a personal level, and out of 700 competitors, I’m number 103. π It’s been a great competition. My personal totals up to today – 433,623 steps which is about 216 miles… Basically, I’ve walked the distance between Dublin, Ireland and Edinburgh, Scotland in 40 days.
Not half bad, if I do say so myself!
Update: 08/08/2012 – With all this walking – my team got 700 Euros for the charity of our choice! Hooray!
