2018 WTF 100miler Ultra #12 Saturday, 22 September 2018 TL;DR Started with no idea and a plan, everything went to shit from there… Longer version Having already run the WTF 50 mile (82km) edition twice, I decided it was time to give the 100 mile (“miler”) event a try. I wanted to attempt the distance […]

2018 Runningworks Lark Hill 50km Ultra Marathon Ultra #9 Saturday, 03 March 2018 To understand my place in this year’s Lark Hill 50km, we need to re-visit the 2017 event (for which I didn’t write a report, sorry). First, a little about the event. Just behind the Lark Hill Sporting Complex in Port Kennedy, south […]
Who’s to blame?
2018 Australia Day Ultra Marathon Ultra #8 Saturday, 20 January 2017 I’ve been carrying a hamstring injury all through 2017 and although it’s much better since getting platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections directly into the tendon, it’s still not 100% so I’ve not been able to run on any surfaces other than flat roads/paths for […]
run into the darkness
2017 Six Inch Trail Marathon Marathon #19 Sunday, 17 December 2017 People had been speculating about the weather for a couple of weeks before this edition of the 6 Inch Trail Marathon. Normally, it’s hot and dry at this time of year but the BOM had been forecasting showers then rain and storms later in […]
Fun in the sun
2017 Australia Day Ultra Marathon Ultra #6 Saturday, 21 January 2017 It’s been about ten months since this event and I’m just writing the run report now. Why? Because I have just signed up for the 2018 edition and realise that I never wrote about the first time I ever ran 100km. Time has dulled […]
Only quitters quit
2016 Six Inch Trail Marathon Marathon #17 Sunday, 18 December 2016 I don’t know exactly what it was about this year’s event but there seemed to be less intensity or excitement in the build up to the day. In previous years, runners have been training hard for this event, it’s the culmination of a running-year. […]
Master of none
2016 World Masters Athletics Championships Marathon Marathon #16 Sunday 06 November 2016 I never intended to run this event, but Tracy convinced me to sign up by asking, “When will you ever get the opportunity to represent your country by running in your home city?” This made too much sense at the time, so I […]
Damn the torpedoes!
Waterous Trail on Foot WTF 50mile 2016 Ultra #5 Sunday 24 September 2016 One year ago, I completed this event and swore (and cursed) that’d never do it again. A year later, I’m on the starting line in the dawn light preparing to do it for the second time. The 2015 event was tough; I […]
Just a walk in the park
Perth City2Surf Marathon 2016 Marathon #15 Sunday 28 August 2016 At this event last year, I ran with Richard Back and scored a massive PB (which was bettered a couple of months ago at the 2016 WAMC Perth Marathon) so this year I decided to pace others and see if I could someone else achieve […]
Closer to Catastrophe
WAMC Perth Marathon 2016 Marathon #14 Sunday 12 June 2016 I looked back through some personal history to remember this event in 2013 was my first ever marathon, and that I’ve done it two more times since that first effort. I was shitting myself then, but running a marathon now has become a bit more […]
