Out early for a Friday Long… thanks for recap of the run Strava…
Steady pace on the flat but slowed on the uphill and then picked up the pace again on the downhill. Textbook Trail running 👍🤦♂️
Thanks for the analysis 😳 I wish I could hold the same pace on the flat to uphill

The Coast to Kosci map is here 🥳 You’ve waited a long time for this one… but I reckon it’s worth it!
240km from the coast to the top of Australia, drawn as one lonnnnnnng line. This map’s for a very small group of legends who did something big.

The morning started knowing it was going to be hot, but we were greeted with an abandoned Rooster….
taraweraultratrail looming so it was the last longer hit out @ + 35 degrees 😳🥵 on a tough out an back….
dillonrinn & I did the 40km loop option and the rest had an out and back to which we all finished at the dam time !!!
Was tough in the heat but we had well located pit stops and service stations to cool off and refuel…:
Tarawera training block done folks… taper time begins….
Red Rooster for dinner tonight as well 👌 kidding he is safe and relocated with lots of hens getting freaky so don’t except too many eggs laid in the morning if you are expecting breakfast 😳

Some like to rise with the sun others like see to it set …..
It’s never easier no matter when you do it, you get better doing it but that never makes it easier…
What’s easy is to not get sally up and or turn sally down. Your choices and actions each day will lead to consistency, but it’s your control to what part is consistent… is it to push things aside or let other things get in the way or taking control and you choosing what more important long term and or taking the time for you to then be better in all aspect of your life… them your thriving all around you is thriving….
Developing good habits, consistent action leads to the motivation, doesn’t come easy…. Motivation doesn’t happen before l… it’s after the actions
Stay hard

Blink 182, inspired … Dammit…. Out and back in Polkobin …. Broken Back Mountain course.
Good 36k long run, banking more volume for January,, the rain finically hit so the humidity was high, so went with the HIGH carb fuel from tailwindnutritionau

No shorts, no mercy! Here is the writeup of my experience at the 2025 Coast to Kosci ultramarathon. This has taken me a little while to write, given that C2K was over a month ago now. I think I just needed a little more time to process the event, and to have a break from all things running while letting my mind just wander around for a while.
Having said that, it has been great to look back on the weekend and relive it through words and photos!
