Joel hits the trails in the UTA 50-km race

May 25, 2021

A friend of Joel’s had to pull out of the Ultra Trail Australia 50-km race in the Blue Mountains recently and offered Joel his entry at short notice. Given that he wasn’t in ‘race shape’ – whatever that means – he went for the social option and ran the event juggling. Much less pressure to run a good time (and much more cheering from the crowd!). Weather held out and it was a great day out on the trails – he managed to get around in 7h 40 or so (25% of the way down the finishing list) – definitely happy with that. Strava post here.
