Recaps from events I have participated in.
When Spartan Race Australia announced that it would be holding an Asia Pacific (APAC) Championship race in Perth at the end of 2017 I knew that it would be a race not to miss. Spartan has only ever had three events in Perth – a Super/Sprint combo in 2013 and a Sprint in 2015. They … Continue reading Spartan Trifecta Weekend – Perth
Sometimes the best way to approach a Spartan Race is with zero preparation – well that’s what I was telling myself this last weekend as I prepared to take on my first Spartan of 2018 in Picton, an hour’s drive outside of Sydney. It was a last-minute decision to fly across the country for the … Continue reading Spartan Race – Sydney Super/Sprint
If there’s one thing I’m learning about endurance events, it’s to approach them with zero expectations. Every event is different and will test you in different ways to the ones that have come before it. I’d been convinced by Max Delacy (CEO of Spartan Race Australia) to sign up for the 12 Hour Hurricane Heat … Continue reading Hurricane Heat 12 HR – Selection Edition
Pre-race ramblings: Four years ago, I travelled to Melbourne with two of my best friends for the longest mud run I’d ever attempted – a 20km Tough Mudder. Now, 10 Tough Mudders later, I am four sleeps away from my biggest challenge of 2017 – World’s Toughest Mudder. If you had’ve told me four years … Continue reading World’s Toughest Mudder 2017
What do you get when you combine camping, trail running, and awesome people? The Ragnar Trail Relay! I’ve had friends talk about Ragnar for years, but I’ve never been in the right US state at the right time to enter, until now. I had a week free between the Dallas Spartan Race Weekend and World’s … Continue reading Ragnar Trail Relay – Arizona
Most people go into a Spartan Race Ultra Beast with a plan and months of training. I went into my second Ultra Beast with no preparation after a snap decision the weekend before the race. I was in Dallas for the Spartan Race weekend and ready to take on the Beast and Sprint like I … Continue reading Spartan Race Weekend Dallas 2017
Since running Conquer the Gauntlet in Arkansas in 2016, I’d been wanting to run another event. So, when the opportunity arose to run one in Texas, I jumped at the chance. I snuck my way back into the Lone Star State with help from some secretive friends. The night before CTG, I made my way … Continue reading Conquer the Gauntlet – Central Texas 2017
If you know me personally, you’ll know how excited I get leading up to a race. I will talk about it non-stop in the week prior and be almost jumping out of my skin on race day. I was patiently waiting for those feelings in the week leading up to the 2017 Obstacle Course Racing … Continue reading OCR World Championships 2017
I hadn't planned on making the journey across the country to True Grit in Sydney, but as I saw more and more friends talking about going, I made a last-minute decision to book a flight to Sydney. True Grit is a 12km military style obstacle course race which also had an Enduro option for those … Continue reading True Grit – Aussie Titles
