Having completed the first stage of The Lord Of The Rings Virtual Challenge, I thought it would be a good idea to take a quick run along the virtual Berlin Wall. This was a much shorter challenge of 48.3km and I managed to completed the run in 3 days.

I decide to embark upon the Berlin Wall challenge because I was in the midst of preparing a technical paper for presenting at a conference in Berlin later this year. This was a conference I attended last year where I was able to see a section of the Berlin Wall for myself. This was only a short section of the wall that had been on display at the conference venue.

It was a great conference in Berlin and its one that I am looking forward to attending again this year. I am unsure whether the 48.3km running challenge was enough to burn off the calories that I gained from eating the biggest Schnitzel I have ever seen. That was a considerable eating challenge that I will not be looking to participate in again during my next visit
