Race Review- Warburton Trail Fest 50k

March 12, 2022March 19, 20222 Comments

The achievements started small and early. After my last registration at Warby trail fest last year and subsequent tantrum, just showing up felt like something to be celebrated.

There was a discussion on an ultra running Facebook group recently that sparked my attention.

Adding to the collection today with a solid 27k at Warby trail fest! Always a great event, probably the most running I’ve done in a while at a trail run, and super fun to run with Morgs and Megs, although they probably wished they had brought earplugs! 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year, for 12 years! Because it didn’t happen if it’s not on Strava, instagram,  the go pro and all the things! Injury update: I have a lazy arse! Behind the scenes of a trail running trip to New Zealand! It’s all fun and games until you have to get your gear back through quarantine! Not gunna lie, looking forward to coming home at the end of the week, but it would be rude to not keep getting out when the trails look like this
