Wow! Archie’s 50k Mt Buller DONE ✔️💪
In a word - that was HARD
But hey 👋 Girls who are nearly 60 can do hard sh*t
The scenery was spectacular
The course was 2100m+ elevation - some of which was straight down ⛰️
With 20 river crossings 💦
And then -literally- straight up ⬆️⛰️
Thanks so much to Eibhlin Fletcher who kept me “shuffling” which was quicker than walking (when I couldn’t run) & partner in crime doing the event together (somewhat more experienced than me - lots of lessons learnt)
And feeding me dates when I couldn’t stomach anymore gels or sandwich’s (best laid nutrition race plan - out the window 🪟)
But over all - an amazing event
Quads are now nicely “smashed” 💪🤦♀️
Thanks to running those hills & getting to the summit to grab a page out of a book to prove we made it before heading back to Mt Buller village & finish line 🏁
Thanks also so much to Julie Tedde for getting me so prepared
Great training buddies & Loads of laughs along the way
