Chris Moon has by his own admission, finished one of the hardest challenges he has ever done. Bearing in mind the kind of things that Chris has done that is no mean feat. Thank you Chris for yet another inspiration....... Here is his report :
After I finished I must admit I was in bits. If you think it’s mad for a one armed, one legged bloke to run a mountain race of 95 miles with a 36 hour cut off then think about this- Only a fool would finish the West Highland Way Race and say I conquered the hills, the stones and glens, but what I can say is I went there, trained hard, became part of a team effort, did by my best and in so doing conquered something that limited me. I also hope people will be engaged by the effort and make a small donation to O2e
What did I learn? Apart from some technical and prosthetic things which will make me faster next time I have to say I’ve travelled the world and done many ultras and this is the toughest so far. Isn’t ironic been all over the world and this one was right on my doorstep? What a blast! The moral of the story for me, which I hope will be of some use to you, is what great thing do we have on our doorstep, close to home that needs a bit of effort and enthusiasm to become a really great thing for us? I wish you all the best in your challenges '
