Yeah that puts things into to perspective that's quite a life experience tang.
I think the birth of my second daughter was the toughest thing I've experienced.
Google 'ruptured uterus during delivery' for further details - normally either mother or baby and often both don't survive. Mine both beat the odds and pulled through -
The 3-4 days surrounding this were horrible, and I wish I'd sought help afterwards - am fighting back tears just thinking about it (was 5 years ago)
My younger brother passes away from Liver Cancer 2 years ago, aged 36 - another experience that was very hard to get through.
Oh, and the Ride London 100 was tough this year - I'm unfit and a bit fat - messed up my hydration, got caught in traffic at the bottom of Leith Hill for over an hour, and found the last 5-10 miles really hard.
That sounds tough freeagent - kudos to you for getting through.
For me - getting the Big C diagnosis. Made doubly hard but having just got a fat bike that I cannot now ride.....
Physically, either walking the Pennine Way or completing a 100k Merida at Ruthin.
