    Wow....this was great guys. Victoria, that was mental. So inspiring! You're courageous allowing yourself to be recorded suffering like you were. (I think I would have thrown a few cameras in the Thames!) So happy you both achieved such a great goal with the Slam. No doubt that last race taught you a lot about yourselves in a really good way that very few will ever understand. Overcoming that brutal experience through grit and determination is life changing. My favourite part was Victoria holding those buckles up at the end. It seems so ridiculous doesn't it....but they represent blood sweat and tears....and vomit! Respect to both of you!

    • @victoriac2134

I did feel like it was almost an anti-climax for you to finish by just rocking up to a back garden but the relief and joy you must have felt at completing not only that event but the grand slam would have over-ridden everything.
