So when the driver says the hard part is over, you’d think he’s crazy, but knowing that all the preparation (diet, exercising 3 hours a day, ultralight gear packs arriving, testing, organizing charities and media) was over, my stress was over.
Barring a car accident, I would soon be standing at the southern terminus, Marmalade (name of the trail) was underway, the hard part was over. It felt like a complete release from stress.
