Recaps from events I have participated in.
What do you get when you cross 2000+ women with a few obstacles and a heap of mud? Miss Muddy! Miss Muddy is Australia’s only female-only mud run and aims to get the ladies out of their comfort zones. I’d volunteered and run the event back in 2015 and I was excited to get another … Continue reading Miss Muddy
I’d been feeling a bit low after returning to Perth in February with no OCR prospects on the horizon. Just when I had given up on the prospect of spending a day acting like an idiot, a friend of mine commented that ROC Race was coming back to Perth and he was looking for people … Continue reading ROC Race
I’m standing in waist-deep, ice-cold water, and I can’t feel my toes. I don’t mean that figuratively. I am trying to wiggle them but they are so cold that I literally can’t feel them anymore. Just as I start to question my own sanity, I remember why I’m here. For those of you who know … Continue reading Tough Guy – January 9 2017

After a brief contemplation period, I booked a flight and before long I was on my way back to … Continue reading Makahiki Challenge
I have a small confession to make regarding Spartan Races – I’m kind of over them.
On the eve of my flight back to Australia I woke at 4am, groggily put on race clothes and sat in the car for two hours as my friend Kendal drove us to Savage Race in Houston. It was my last race before leaving the US so I made sure it was going to be … Continue reading Savage Race (Houston)
There was only one event that all my Texas friends kept talking about all year – the Dallas Beast/Sprint weekend. I’ve only ever spent one Halloween in the US when I was 10 years old. The Spartan weekend was falling the day before Halloween so it provided me with the perfect opportunity to dress up … Continue reading Spartan Beast/Sprint Weekend (Dallas)
My first ever Tough Mudder was in September 2013. My best friend Gina was flying up to Melbourne for it and encouraged me and my other best friend Vanessa to head along for it. I had an absolute blast despite the cold and it was one of the toughest physical challenges I’d ever faced as … Continue reading Tough Mudder (Dallas)
If there’s one event that most OCR fanatics aim to compete at it’s the OCR World Championships (OCRWC). I had the opportunity to compete in the Pro wave at the 2015 OCRWC and it was an experience I’ll never forget. So when it came to the 2016 OCRWC I knew I had to return. Earlier … Continue reading OCR World Championships
