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)
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
Bonefrog was a last minute addition to my 2016 race calendar. I’d seen their photos on Instagram but didn’t know much about the race. It wasn’t until they announced Dustin as their new race announcer that everyone on Facebook started talking about the series and I realised I could get to their Florida race. I … Continue reading Bonefrog Challenge (Orlando)
As I sat alone at a hostel in New Zealand in early August I had a decision to make. What would I be doing on September 17? Would I make the pilgrimage to Vermont to take on the Spartan Beast, or would I try something different and go to Conquer the Gauntlet in Arkansas?

I had the option of flying to Colorado and doing the Breckenridge Beast in the snow, or staying in California and doing the Gladiator Rock’N’Run. After putting my dilemma on Facebook I had an overwhelming response from friends telling me to stay and do … Continue reading Gladiator Rock’N’Run
August means one thing to a lot of Spartan Racers – Hawaii Trifecta Weekend! I joined thousands of other Spartans on Oahu for what was going to be a great weekend of racing and friendship. The weather in the week leading up to the race had been sketchy at times, but the rain meant it … Continue reading Spartan Race Trifecta Weekend (Hawaii)
I’m one of those people who hates the cold. I try and avoid the cold as much as I can, but when it comes to racing in the snow I’m more than happy to put up with the weather for a few hours. It was a cold Saturday morning when I found myself once again … Continue reading Winter Warrior Challenge
After a two month break from racing I was excited to get back into it with the Tough Guy and Gal Challenge in New Zealand. My friend Josh had told me that Tough Guy was a mud run and not to expect any huge obstacles, but I was still excited. I was staying in Napier … Continue reading Tough Guy and Gal Challenge
With two Battlefrog Xtreme (BFX) races under my belt, I was pumped to see what I could do in Salt Lake City at Utah’s first Battlefrog. I checked the BFX list when I arrived on Saturday morning and realised that there were only two other women registered to do BFX. This meant I was in … Continue reading Battlefrog (Salt Lake City)
