Old Ghost Ultra 2021…
Better late than never. Enjoy a recap of the antics that went down at the Old Ghost Ultra in 2021.
Hanmer Old Forest 100 – 50km
After recovering from little training on my school Service Trip to Cambodia, it was time to take on my next race of the year. This time it would be closer to home and not such a stress of having to fly to our destination! Thursday night came around and I was packed for a pretty … Continue reading Hanmer Old Forest 100 – 50km
St James Stampede Ultra 60km
Well, yesterday I competed in the St James Mountain Sports Stampede Ultra. Originally this race was going to be 50km's, but due to the 'weather-bomb' that had hit the South Island and raised the rivers, the race was changed to a different course which was 10km's longer. After just returning from a holiday overseas, both dad and … Continue reading St James Stampede Ultra 60km

2015 – My Running Year
This year has gone fast. As I sit here writing this blog post it is hard to comprehend that I only ran 50-60kms last year. But come January 2015 I made a decision to turn my running life around and actually run rather than talk about it. Racing started in late January when I set a goal … Continue reading 2015 – My Running Year
Mission Mt Grey
Today I did a mission up and around Mt Grey. I was joined by my father who ran and my brother who mountain biked. We started our run at the Lake Janet Carpark, where we followed a steep overgrown single track up to the Fire Department Lookout. We were climbing around 120 metres per kilometre! … Continue reading Mission Mt Grey
