25.01.2022 Five peaks summed up in pictures . . Now what I was thinking during said pictures : 1~ ‘How The hell do I pace this?’ #newbienerves ... . 2~ ‘Please let the fact there is a photographer here mean I’m close to the summit’ . 3~ ‘Found it, go time for downhill ’ . 4~ ‘following the leaderrrr’. Pretty much all I remember thinking for the middle 35km is ‘Keep Mick in sight’. . 5~ ‘Fast feet fast feet fast feet’. Woman on a mission as long as I was looking down. . 6~ ‘Ahhhh fuck....’ 5 hours in, when I looked up to see the last aid station and realised I had miscalculated how long there was to go, AND that there was in fact more climb to come. #ouch . 7~ ‘okay so steves disco tunnel is damn cool and all, but the finish is soon right?’ . 8 ~ ‘legs, why were you hiding this capability to actually get off the ground for the last two hours!?’ ... Yay for finish lines reminding us there is always more in the tank #lastonefastone . 9~ ‘don’t look like a doofus’ - but also, how awesome is this sport, the community, adelaides hills, and the women all throughout running that remind us all that pushing your limits is inspiringly badass. . 10 ~ one more close up of my ‘Ah fuck’ moment, because it’s pretty hilarious #rookie . . I will be writing up an actual race report once I have recovered enough and made it though the work week, but a massive thanks again to @trailrunningsa @salomonrunning @crosbietim @suunto_anz @tailwindnutritionaust @revviesenergy @fixx_nutrition and every single volunteer that made the day at Five Peaks so special for everyone. Huge congrats to Sonja Jansen and Angela Sanderson on their incredibly close race (1sec between 2nd and 3rd over 58+km!), and to every single person that ran all distances - we all have our own biggest efforts and mountains to climb. Mine is finally up to distances I have dreamed of for a while but I too started at the back of the pack running the shortest events possible and it was just as hard and rewarding at the time #bewhereyouare #yousmashedit
25.01.2022 ~ Buffalo Stampede 2021 EMS Crew ~ . Absolute insanity, and I couldn’t love it any more. Love these people . Such an incredible weekend so far and still the ultra marathoners to see home and a marathon in the freezing cold to go tomorrow Loving putting my medic hat on and enjoying the trails, the people, the atmosphere and everything we all love about events from a very different perspective again Sunset while climbing mystic one day to sunrise while climbing it t...he next is pretty special. #itsbeentoolong . To all those that have run so far massive congrats, these tracks are epic in every sense of the word - and to those still to run, stay safe! I am looking forward to being out on course all day with you tomorrow but very much hoping the EMS crew go largely unneeded and a great run is had by all #staysafe #staywarm . . @buffalostampede_au @endurancemedicalservices #runmedic #running #trailrunning #mountainrunning #skyrunning #bright #buffalostampede #ems #endurancemedicalservices #runner #lovetherun #ultramarathon #mountains #victoria See more
24.01.2022 A full day of mountain paradise again with @endurancemedicalservices at @buffalostampede_au . Freezing snow running, hot running in the sun, hills galore, chatting to countless people over shared kms, and the worst event of the day just being a near miss = an epic day! . .... Thankful, brimming with mountain time and so happy to see many amazing performances from the front to the back of the field. Congrats to all! . Now time for at least 12hrs sleep #thatpackwasheavy See more
07.01.2022 We’re going baaaack #furberstepscomeatme . After getting a taste of Leura Forest and Furber Steps for UTA22 2018; then annoyingly attending the event on crutches in 2019; I cannot wait to see how these newly formed ultra legs of mine handle UTA50 in 4 weeks . Thank goodness I don’t mind a good stairs session hey ... . . But first, Between now and then I get wayyyy out of my comfort zone for a week by racing the 10,000m and 5000m on the track in Sydney for Uni Nationals on 21st/24th April #lapsonlaps . Surely doing my first track 10,000m in the middle of 50k training and after a 2 year hiatus from the track couldn’t go too wrong could it??? . The only thing I am actually confident of - the next month is going to be damn wild ride #holdonandhope . . #running #runner #ultratrailaustralia #uta50 #uta #bluemountains #salomonrunning #suuntoanz #suunto #salomon #fixxnutrition #tailwindnutrition #revviesenergystrips #crosbiecrew #mountainrunner #ultrarunner #trackrunner @salomonrunning @suunto_anz @fixx_nutrition @tailwindnutritionaust @revviesenergy @crosbiecrew See more
02.01.2022 Woweeee what a day. Finally back in Melbourne (flying after running 60+km is not recommended ) and yet to fully process all that happened at @trailrunningsa Five Peaks but safe to say there was smiles, there was beauty and joy, annnnddd there was a seemingly never ending pain cave . Still loved every second and so happy with how I pulled myself out of every bad mindset and painful situation to finish stronger than I thought I would with 20km to go (although hardly felt it... at the time!) . . 1st Female, 3rd Overall And my longest race ever ticked off. Can’t wait for more! Couldn’t be more grateful to @trailrunningsa and the whole community in Adelaide for welcoming me with open arms and making me feel incredibly at home. I shall be back .
