Everest Part 8 – The final day

Team Back Down Last Day

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, that’s over 2.6 million steps. When you do the math, here’s how it worked out –

2144 km – we have walked the distance between Dublin, Ireland and Malaga, Spain and back again!

Last Day - halfway down

On a personal level, and out of 700 competitors, I’m number 103. πŸ™‚ 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!
