Delirious West - 200 and 100 miler 2024

One of the joys of my job as a physiotherapist and running coach is getting to work with trail and ultra runners of all abilities!

For the past 4 iterations of Delirious West 200 and 100 Miler (yes miles) - I've had the pleasure and honour of coaching, volunteering and crewing. It's been an incredible experience at any end of the spectrum. A whole week of the South West stretched between Northcliffe in the South West and Albany on the south coast. Karri and Tingle forests for miles and some of the most spectacular and iconic beaches in Australia.

This year, not only do I get to see two of my coached athletes Karin Ridley and Shannon Wakefield take on the beast that is the 200 miler, along with the wonderful Willah Sewell on her maiden 100-mile adventure - I get to participate in a new modus. While I'm so excited to see these incredible women smash their goals, I'm so excited to join The Ultra Series Australia crew on the Event Management team.

This year, I'll be joining Event Director Shaun Kaesler as a Race director.
Needless to say, this is new territory for me, it's been a while since I've been in an event management position, but I'm certainly looking forward to the challenge.

There will be an event tracker so that you can follow along at home. I'll be checking in over the course of the week on The Long Run - Stories. So follow along for updates and an inside look at what goes into these events.

I have some appointments open on Monday Morning (5th of Feb). Then I'll be back in the office from Wednesday 14th Feb.

Rob and Belinda are available as usual next week and the next.
See you on the other side!
