Ran in a 50km ultra marathon event called The Flinders Tour. It's a scenic course on trails through the pine forests and bush in the middle (and up one) of the Glasshouse Mountains on the Sunshine Coast.
I didn't have a ideal start, stupidly rolling my ankle in a hole within the first couple km while admiring the glorious sunrise and not paying attention to the ground. Being so early in the race I knew right away it was a simple but big error. Feeling it wasn't serious enough to quit yet, I ran through the pain - albeit at an awkward and slow pace - it kinda went numb after a while. So 6 hours 26 mins later, yay I get my nice handmade finishers tea cup trophy : ) Place 28 out of 38.
Pretty tough event, the mind battle definitely came into this one. But all-in-all I enjoyed myself and the food and people at the aid stations were awesome...mmm baked potato's and brownies never tasted so good.
