Race Review
Recaps and Reviews on events I have participated in.
Telstra Shop Handicap
I have a cold (sad face). I’m not too sure where I got it, but either way, I knew that I wasn’t going to have a flash club run. These things happen, and since it’s outside of my control, there is nothing I can do about it, you just have to plod on. This week’s club

Dooen Engineering Sealed Handicap
The Stawell Running Club season opens with the Dooen Engineering Sealed Handicap. I missed this race in 2013 as I was in Geelong to run the Geelong Half Marathon. I’m glad the running season is open for the year, it keeps me motivated and pushes me to get faster. The first race for the year

Race Review: Trailblazers 10km – You Yangs
While browsing Facebook one day I saw The Running Company Geelong post an upcoming event they were a co-sponsor of. This is how I came to learn about the My Physio Trailblazer event in the You Yangs. I love trail running, there is no doubt about that. I enjoy it more and more each time

Help! Spartan Race
I’ve done a Tough Mudder, how different could a Spartan Race be? Very different if you aren’t actually racing/running it. Yep you read right, but guess what? I still participated, just as a volunteer. And let me tell you it was an eye opener. Spartan Race makes Tough Mudder look like a walk in the

Andrew Darnell Memorial Championship
After a bye last week, it was nice to have the regularity of a club run. This week’s race was held up in Horsham along the river. The course was not the same as last year, due to work on the bridge. Either way, the course was flat, which means fast, but you never know

Heart Challenge
Today marked the 2nd Wimmera/Grampians Heart Challenge. Jackie created this event as her dad died of a heart attack back in 1996. The leading cause of death in our region is related to heart disease. Which is quite sad. All the monies raised from this event will go back into the community to help our
