Hello everyone, hello family!
Sorry for not sending a message, yesterday was a 12-hour hike, and when I arrived it was already dark and I couldn't even send a message.
Yesterday was the hardest day, with 2,000 climbs, but I managed to finish within the allotted time.
However, today, during the second part, I hurt my foot badly. I walked very slowly and asked for a timeout at the second checkpoint.
I think I'll only be able to wear Crocs for the next few weeks.
Maybe I'll help out at the campsite, or do the ultra-lite version if it's allowed (which is only 10k per day on easy terrain). Today was very tough, it was downhill, but it was a trail in the middle of the forest, very unstable terrain, and the constant pressure of the shoe on my foot hurt my toes a lot. A few other people didn't finish in time today, and some dropped out. So, although I'm frustrated, I don't feel too bad. I wasn't the only one; it was tough for a lot of people. I'm not even "tired." I could easily walk another 20km if it weren't for the pain in my toes and heel.
As soon as I get an internet signal, I'll let you know if I can make it back sooner, as there are some logistical issues. The campsites at each stage are in very isolated locations. We're almost 400km from Athens.
I love you, let me know as soon as possible.
Love you, Bruna

Comprei o saco de dormir e "colchão" ontem a noite faltando 30 minutos para a Declathon fechar.
Comprei hoje os ultimos snacks que precisava.
Terminei de empacotar todos os equipamentos e comida na mochila faltando literalmente 30 minutos pra sair pro aeroporto.
Isso não é orgulho tá? É só uma constatação, aprendi a viver (ou seria sobreviver?) lidando "com uma coisa de cada vez", e no fim, até hoje 36 anos depois, tudo no fim tem mesmo dado certo. (Menos a ansiedade do lifestyle rs). Brincadeira.
Família e amigos, me mandem msg por aqui pra me ajudar a não desistir. To bem ansiosa, sensação tremenda que tinha que ter treinado mais, me esforçado mais, mas afinal to indo "com o que temos pra hj", pensando só que eu já fiz MUITA coisa difícil nessa vida, e essa é só mais uma. E mais que isso, é um sonho se realizando ! :)
(Espero que não vire pesadelo rs. Brinks)
Então andando, com fé eu vou, que a fé não costuma faia. ❤️
love u, me mandem boas energias.
