Adventure Junkie

Nearly 100 teams of two took part in Sprint Series Adventure Race in Lysterfield, Melbourne, Victoria last Sunday.  The event had two courses: Classic and Novice and participants of all levels had a great day out in the bush chasing checkpoints.

The Classic course was taken out by PeakAdventure.com.au/Dynamite Adventure team consisted of Jarad Kohlar and Angus Rodwell, the second across the line were  Dirty Nunas Chris Moore and Andrew Noordhoff followed closely by all girls team S2S Julia Clark and Lucy Clark.

Recovery is an interesting topic that attracts a lot of attention, usually focussed narrowly on either the nutrition or the musculoskeletal aspect.

I will try to quickly get you through main aspects and then you can get into any details by yourself.

It is a very basic summary, as the topic is too broad to be described in one short article.

Winning, how it’s done?

I did not finish on multisport podium for a while, not last 3 years at least. As you can see on the finish video, our family had grown in numbers about three years ago; having no parents around, growing Adventure Junkie business and relatively new and demanding job does not help with free time, hence training was finally given up about two years ago.

After 27 hours of racing through some of the most stunning, remote and unique areas Victoria has on offer Queensland/Tasmania team Wild Earth/Tiger Adventure conquered last year winners Victorian Thunderbolt AR.

It was a close finish at Marlo Hotel: first two teams came in within 5 minutes to each other, while the third team Explore Gippsland was just half an hour behind.

Congratulations! 

and Thank You for being a part of X-Marathon 2018! We believe it was an amazing Australia Day weekend in some of the most spectacular and epic adventure racing destination East Gippsland. You all are true champions and an inspiration for everyone. 

Just in case you you missed out:

One of the best ever?

Women Only Adventure 2018 done and dusted and wasn't it great? 

Despite the forecast it turned to be a great day of racing with mild temperature and one or two showers to settle the dust. Wind added up a bit of a challenge to a paddle leg and a lot to organising part- we were struggling to put all race bags together and start/finish arch upright.
