Sucks, but also still an absolutely amazing achievement. As a hiker those numbers are huge huge daily milage for such a long time. And to think it was one small mistake or an equipment malfunction that stopped you rather than your body or spirit giving up speaks volumes. I hope you get another crack at it next year.
I probably planned it a bit too ambitious in retrospect. I'm a very experienced adventurer and camper with some long canoe and cycling trips under my belt, so I'm well used to keeping up spirit and mental resilience in tough conditions, but never done a hike longer than a few days.
Hopefully you learned some lessons then for next time!
