 it's pretty epic all right so this is effectively the official start line for this 25 and a half kilometer trail half marathon and there's nothing left to do but to do it got some music got my supplies i'm gonna start my watch all right let's do this what have i got myself in for hey guys it's me it's been a minute since i put a channel on this video yeah it's been a minute since i made a video um on this channel as proven by my uh inability to um introduce a video but this video is going to be interesting it's going to be uh fun well it's fun to think about not so fun to do when you're in the thick of it but today i am indeed going to do my very best to qualify for next year's west max monster ultramarathon this year came and went the race that is uh we've still got pretty much half of the year to go the first half has gone relatively quickly but that's only because i've been busy um and uh yeah that's what happens that's what happens guys either way i don't want to say too much i've got to get out there i've got to get to the start line what we have here folks is my itinerary no not my itinerary my inventory jesus christ i need some work um my inventory for my rung this morning it is 25 kilometers from simpson's gap all the way along the larrapin to trail to the telegraph station here in ellispring so it's 25.5 k's i think and it's a specific 25.5 k's because last time i did this i actually went from ellisprings to simpson's gap which is the wrong way um i knew that that was the case but what i didn't know is that there's a reason why you go from simpson's gap into ellisprings and that's because the the um the overall uh elevation or the overall sort of um what's the word it's easier going from simpson's gap to ellisprings because overall it's a it's more of a descent into ellisprings than it is going the other way i didn't know that um i was able to get just under four hours going the other way uh this time i will be going the right way i'm hoping for at least under four hours because four hours is the qualifying time this 25 kilometer stretch qualifies you for the 65 kilometer ultra marathon um and if you want to qualify for the 128 k uh then you go and and complete the 65 k um section and i think the cutoff might be 12 hours or something like that i'm certainly not at that level uh as far as training's concerned very very intermittent i am 10 i'm 11 days sober from alcohol at the moment alcohol has been unfortunately it's been um it's been my undoing the last couple of years you know what i mean i just liked it too much and i prioritized it over a hell of a lot of other things spent too much money on it my physical health suffered mental health suffered everything suffered you know and that's what happens when you drink that much alcohol for that long every single day but today i am 11 days sober and that is half the reason why i actually feel capable enough to do this if i can complete this four this uh 25 and a half kilometer half marathon effectively along the trail along the larrapinter trail if i can complete that in anything like three and a half hours today with fuck all training relying on mindset pretty much only and a base level of fitness then i will be extremely happy and um i will have indeed qualified for the for next year's 65 kilometer um west backs monster ultra marathon so let me with the power of youtube uh click my fingers and well i'll see you when we're about to leave the house all right guys we're almost ready to go um what i've got here is my camelback some of you may recognize that um i thought yes i i assumed it would get a hell of a lot more use uh than it has but i've kept it for a reason i've got two bottles of powerade in the back of it i've got two bladders of water either side i've got my gopro to take videos whilst i'm running and that's pretty much it so uh the next thing i want to show you is my new set of wheels have a look at this beauty what do you reckon uh it's officially my very first motorbike i've had plenty of scooters in the past 50 cc 100 cc 125 cc but i've never actually had an actual motorbike and i bought that yesterday uh it was about time i got some wheels for myself here in ellisprings i am taking a trip back to new zealand next month which i'm really looking forward to but i thought i'd get some wheels sorted so that my transition back to ellisprings uh will be will be that much easier that much smoother i've got my inventory and uh i've got my sobriety and guys just on a serious note if i didn't have that right now this would not be possible push came to shove something had to give and i had to give up the alcohol i'm trying to do it for 90 days i did it for 30 days back at the start of the year that was really really rewarding i brought that experience to youtube on my second channel called it's okay to talk and i'm doing the exact same thing um with this 90 day challenge so if any of you guys out there are interested in my sobriety journey in uh you know my day-to-day life at the moment i'm pretty much vlogging it every single day over on that channel and i urge you to go and check it out it's called it's okay to talk you can find the link down in the um on my my home page under the channels at the bottom of the uh of the page so that's enough time for talk it's time to do the walk or run or or both let's see all right we have arrived we're in the right spot but first i've got to go to the toilet get that sorted it's actually a good thing because that means that the water that i've had this morning the coffee that i've had this morning has already started to process through my body um and it means that i am hydrated enough to begin this this run because it's no it's no joke it is no joke um uh i under i severely underestimated this run last time i did it uh i did it in like february i think it was about 36 degrees that day which is you know it's not as high as it gets around here but it's um you know it's beautiful it's perfect running weather today so the weather is on my side we've got a little bit of cloud at the moment which is not normal around here so that's also on my side um but i won't i won't say we haven't gone through any adversity yet because we have in fact i didn't realize how fucking cold it was going to be on that bike so i should have i should have had some long sleeves on um but i didn't want to bring anything extra because there's no room to store anything underneath the bike and i really wanted to just have my my backpack on and yeah look uh i'm rambling now it's 8 56 i want to start this at about nine o'clock and uh yeah if we can get on the road by nine i'll be stoked have a look at this now this is simpson's gap this is the the classic photo the classic view that people capture but uh unfortunately this sand bed uh dry river bed i suppose you could say is uh is the start of the actual uh 25 k course so one mistake that i made last time was um not only going the wrong way but also not finishing it all the way down here by the water so uh i'm lead to believe i need to be pretty much on the water's edge i'll start my watch and then we come all the way up here until we see an opening on the left hand side uh some some sort of a trail and we carry on there and then that's pretty much uh the way that we we go until we reach alice springs so oh i'm ready for this man perfect weather honestly can't say that enough fucking perfect weather for a good run and uh look if i can get it done in anything under three and a half hours with the minimal training that i've been doing i'll be really proud of myself and that will indeed be my qualifying run uh for next year's westmax monster it's pretty epic right so this is effectively the official start line for this 25 and a half kilometer trail half marathon and uh there's nothing left to do but to do it i've got some music got my supplies i'm gonna start my watch all right let's do this what have i got myself in for running along the sand jesus christ okay i'll tell you what i was lucky to even find the entry to the trail but this is what i'm working with i'm a kilometer through okay so very very early days but it would be in my best interest to stick to a game plan and uh my game plan is to be very disciplined with where i walk and where i run so it's pretty simple walk the uphills run the downhills and jog the flat parts and if i can do that this entire way i will be on track to qualify okay 2.99 kilometers 24 and a half minutes now that is certainly nothing special uh but the majority of it has been uphill so when you think about that it's actually not too bad so couldn't say exactly how high we are but apparently and this is out by bit it says 21 k's to go so 21 k's might be to the edge of the telegraph station but it's not uh that's not the finish line so three k's in feeling really really uh yeah just excited man just so happy to be to be out in nature doing what i love exercising feeling free free as a bird the only concern at the moment is my left calf uh is you know it's i can feel it put it that way so i've just got to be mindful of that and i've also got to be mindful of uh not doing what i just did whoa and uh running you know even if it is just the slightest incline i really need to tell myself to slow down and think about think about the overall picture the big picture anyway it looks like we are going to go down uh for the next little bit at least so i'm going to enjoy this one thing i do have on my side is music now i could be doing this without music and i'd probably feel yes yes okay to all you woke mofos out there yes i would feel more grounded it would be a more spiritual experience but i mean i am sailing uncharted waters right now haven't been on the trail for six months needed as much motivation as i could possibly muster and for me at the moment music having music having my favorite songs when and where i need them to really just give me that boost uh that was a non-negotiable so either way i just want to send my blessings out to every single one of you guys who have not only clicked on this video stuck with me over the years but also have watched long enough to actually get to this part and if you have i'm going to do what i've never done before and say look if you are at this point go down to the comment section hashtag west max monster hashtag west max monster and then i'll know that you're a fucking true og an absolute legend of the channel and with that in mind we've done three and a half k's boom let's keep going okay all right so it's been mixed terrain i'm pretty much down on the flat now it's been relatively flat for the last like k i'm just coming up on six k's about 40 44 minutes six k's 44 minutes that is what it is this kind of stuff feels like a real blessing at the moment but like i mentioned before i've got to be real careful like you know i'll i'll head down you know somewhat downwards like that get a bit of get a bit of speed up but then on the other side inevitably it's going to go back up so i've really gotta really gotta discipline myself and just walk up as steep as little as the gradient may seem um that's where i'm at now cramp cramp is a factor it's definitely a risk factor i've had cramp before on long runs and the only reason that's really happened is because i've failed to introduce salt back into my system after uh after sweating i'm starting to sweat now i will say that the cloud cover is a another blessing um and this is a portion that i should run so uh next time i get the camera out i'm going to get my gator uh my my power radar and have a few steps and probably carry that in my hand just for a little bit um we'll see how it goes so i'll see you again at about kilometer nine we'll see where we're at but for now come to think of it that pain in my in my left carp has actually gone away so it must have just been a teething issue uh music helps making these videos help but it's not going to help me get through those final five k's and i know they're going to be fucking hard so i'll see you at nine okay we are just coming up on nine k's just ticked over an hour and four minutes you know i vividly remember going the other way about six months ago and i thought holy shit yes you know it's going to be like this the whole way back the whole way to to simpsons gap and unfortunately as we've seen today it's just not the case so i know that i have you know completed quite a bit of elevation already but i do know but i also know that the uh the highest point the steepest elevation is yet to come it's called euro ridge the next stop or the next sort of like little camping area is called wallaby gap i'm going to sit down i'm going to refill my little water bladders uh because there is drinkable water there which i missed the time before which was a real bad mistake and also speaking of mistakes uh last time i got a really bad blister a really big blister um on my foot and i'm getting another one now so that tells me that my shoes aren't ideal i've thought for a long time that i need a specific you know running slash trail running shoe whether that be you know asex or hawker or whatever the other brands are but uh i think after this run definitely after this run the time will have come to to get a new pair of shoes but as far as my blisters concerned you know the last time i did this run i just finished the only reason i got motivation to do it is because i just finished 30 days of running every day and uh you can find all of those videos on my other channel it's okay to talk uh but uh fatal mistake is getting home and popping it uh but not only popping it ripping off the skin ripping off the entire blister and just letting it heal without that cover of skin you know what i mean and that fluid and what that meant for me is that i couldn't comfortably run doesn't matter what shoe i was using doesn't matter how many socks i was wearing i could not comfortably run for like three weeks okay because that's how long it took with the friction of wearing shoes and shit that's how long it took to heal maybe even four weeks so i can feel a blister coming on and so aftercare is going to be extremely important because i don't want to be fucking hobbling around for the next four weeks fuck that i've learnt from my mistakes but we do have quite a hefty blister uh forming at the moment either way i'll see you guys at wallaby gap i'll see you guys at wallaby gap sounds like a plan all right there we have it wallaby gap 150 meters this way oh yeah the legs are the legs are feeling it at the moment but i said to myself i would stop here and uh get myself sorted for the rest of the trip so that is exactly what i'm gonna do rest the loins rest the legs just a little bit oh man only a crazy person would do this shit all right so the plan is to fill up these little things because uh yeah it might only be like fuck i don't know 25 degrees but i'm certainly feeling it and the sun when it comes out from behind the clouds uh it's pretty intense so i'm gonna fill these up be back in a sec next minute okay all right so we're not quite halfway uh we're about 11 k's through and this will be the only pit stop i make we're about to head up to uh what's called euro ridge and that will be the that'll be the toughest climb so i'm just gonna take it easy i just want to get up there in one piece and i i i also want this to be gone by the time i get up there so i'm gonna hold it my hand and sip on it and i can't see too much i can't see uh too much jogging over the next fucking uh few k's but we'll see you never know cap in the pocket you don't want to contribute to any um any littering all right and that's it one minute sorry an hour and 20 an hour and 20 on the dot through make of that what you will i'm trying not to look at the time as much as possible but it's kind of hard when you do have a time constraint but yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna try and enjoy this as much as possible that's where we're at guys plenty of good music in the years and plenty of incredible scenery to keep my mind off things so let's keep going here it is guys you're a motherfucking rich and we're right up the top of it talk about brutal okay talk about i'm gonna try and block the wind talk about brutal guys that was farped but i'm led to believe we are indeed at the top the top of the ridge and at the highest point on this track i've been going currently i've been going for an hour and 38 minutes and i've done 12 and a half k's so basically halfway through i hope we've gotten through the worst of it i couldn't be completely sure but this is uh whoa you don't want to get too fucking close damn have a look at that all right guys so it's time to knuckle down get down this ridge as fast as possible and uh crack on all the way to Alice Springs let's do it shit did i talk too soon i may have talked a little bit too soon i've got a habit of doing that seems the brutality is not over yet okay three hours and 30 minutes that is the goal we're on track but i said that last time i tried this all right guys if i said i wasn't struggling right now i'd be lying this is becoming a real struggle i'm 16 k's through two hours and 10 minutes oh shit i've done over 2200 feet of elevation and climbing this oh fuck i can't stop or else i won't get up all right guys checking in coming up on 19 kilometers coming up on two minutes 30 sorry two hours 37 basically this is some tough shit all right guys oh man we are officially in damage control mode i vividly remember coming under this bridge that i'm under right now on my first attempt to do this i was going the other way and i'd run about five and a half k's or five k's and i think i did it in about 36 minutes and i thought fuck yeah this is going well little did i know the trials and tribulations that would that would face me um i told myself if i ran all the way down towards this this bridge that i'd give myself a good couple of minutes just to sit reset put my rubbish in my bag i was so tempted to drop that but i didn't so that's good uh and get out my final bladder of water uh that's all i've got severely under hydrated severely under uh sodiumated if that's a word severely undercarbed i thought that i got a liter of of power aid two liters unfortunately i grabbed the 600 ml i don't know what was going on in my head it looked bigger but that only gives me like 36 grams of carbs per bottle so that's like 72 grams of carbs this entire way which is way too little uh as far as straight water this will if i drink this this will be a total of two liters of water which is far too little once again but uh you know it's a learning experience and um i'm also battling through some pretty fucking hefty cramp right now too so i just want to get back in one piece whether i have to walk or run or a mixture of the two time will tell i've been here for a couple of minutes 20 k's in two minutes 48 that's sorry two 20 k's in two hours 48 okay including this rest so i i believe right to the finish line we had to start right at the start line we have to finish at the finish line i believe it's five and a half k's so effectively i've got to get in in a time under three three and a half hours i've got 40 41 minutes right now so i think i'll do i think i'll do really well to get it done um i think it's an achievable goal but like i just said uh i am battling through some fucking pretty bad cramps man my quad i thought it would be my carbs but it's my quad and then i went to go and stretch it and instantly my hamstring fucking cramped up locked up i was like fuck so it's both the quad and the hamstring on my left leg for anyone wondering either way five and a half k's guys uh i've actually i turned off my music the last few k's because i just had to concentrate it was just getting a little bit too intense but uh yeah the clock's on the clock is indeed on right now so let's do this 40 minutes to get five five point three k's done all right my mind is telling me no but my body my body's telling me yes probably shouldn't do that i might faint like the other guy fucking hell this is a test of character i'll tell you that much we're almost there my hamstrings have locked up multiple times it's three hours 26 minutes and 16 seconds and i've officially done 24.72 k's the finish line is in sight if i can bro if i can do this i'll be so proud of myself this is this is super super hard i've got two minutes to go apparently i've got to get across a lawn and touch a lamp touch a fence post literally got a minute and 10 seconds to go i am fucking dying and if the carrot wasn't dangling so close i would have given up there it is fuck oh that's the track let's go 45 seconds holy fuck i gotta i gotta make it onto a bike track i feel like it's just here about 30 seconds 30 oh my god ah i feel like it was back there oh i'm dying oh fuck i feel like it was back there they see something brown no i'm done guys if i don't think it is that but if it is if it is that thing behind me i finished in just under three hours 30 minutes it's either that or somewhere down there somewhere down there i don't care anymore i just finished oh let's save it 25.36 kilometers along the Larapinta trail in three hours 30 minutes and 15 seconds i pushed myself further than i ever thought i could absolutely incredible feeling Lee shit hey worth a youtube video nonetheless i'm just waiting for my ride i'll have to wait until about 4 30 to go and get my motorbike but that's okay it's pretty it's pretty i mean oh i say it's a trustworthy place but depends on where you are where you are i suppose out at simpson's gap i can't imagine with all the tourists that go through there i can't imagine anyone stealing my helmet that's all i'm worried about not worried about the bike that's all locked up it's just my helmet and we've still got honestly man i fucking Jesus Christ i pushed myself so hard so much further than i than i thought i could you know three hours and 30 minutes we cleared the qualifying time by half an hour and we've still got the most fun part left for someone who loves stats loves analytics you know it's it's one thing looking at stats and analytics and wowing over them with professional athletes but as far as your own statistics your own athletic statistics nothing beats it so i'm gonna have a quick look now on my phone but as far as running through them and looking at splits and trying to think back certain times during that 25 k's i'll do it when i get home i pushed through literally probably six or seven k's worth of cramps that is not safe but there was only one way i was going to get back and that's you know by myself i was never i wasn't going to be able to get chop it out although you know if i had a broken my leg maybe um actually no a couple of rangers would have come along the trail and carried me out through stretcher which would have been really interesting looks like we've got a little mate here hey you're friendly aren't you all right move too quickly either way guys oh my god jesus oh i am done oh well we all right guys i didn't actually know i had that in me i did not know i mean i did i had little anklings that i could pull something out of my ass like that but when you're in the thick of it when you're 20 k's through of a 25.3 k run and you're feeling like your your legs well like i said during the video my mind was telling me no but my body my body my body was telling me yes thank god so all right you know what an experience very grounding you know what i mean very random i'm not going to lie i i have been getting into getting back into a bit of training certainly not you know anything like that certainly no half marathons in fact i feel like uh the last the last time i did a half marathon was six months on the exact same track just going the other way prior to that fuck who knows i've only run five kilometers at any one time over the last six months and you know i'm not happy about that i feel like i can definitely push myself further and but you know when you're in those runs at certain times when it gets to four and a half five k's you honestly think like depending on how hard you've gone you know i sometimes think look look i i can't push myself any further but doing but going out and doing something like i did today you know embeds a new sense of confidence around my physical capability and you know when it comes to going out for my next jog when it comes to five k's through i'm going to think back i mean it's going to be inevitable i'll think back to this run and think uh come on mate get real you can keep going so we've got some stats we have some interesting stats what i used to actually measure the run was my garmin um smartwatch i'm not actually sure what the the name is but actually no i can tell you i can tell you through the garmin app it is called an instinct garmin instinct that's what i can see here now interesting stats all right three hours 30 minutes and 15 seconds 25.36 total kilometers 2,380 total calories burnt and we did a casual you know 861 meters of elevation 861 meters now that in feet is oh near on like 3000 feet you know probably 2800 feet or something like that um we've actually got uh in Strava we actually have like a graphic showing where the elevation was and how steep it was and uh yeah there's certain parts on that graphic that really you know show just just um yeah just how steep overall uh certain areas certain parts of it were and there's i mean i'll throw the elevation graphic up on the screen you know we started off with a fair bit of elevation came down uh came down the other side and then i had probably five or six k's from about four and a half k's all the way through to about 11 k's where it was relatively flat and being that it was the first half of the the race i was feeling good feeling pretty confident i didn't push it too hard but i was able to maintain a pace of around about six minutes to six minutes 30 throughout that five and a half kilometer stretch and you know thinking back the fact that i was able to just finish in three hours 30 minutes you know in times like that where i was feeling good and i i did run uh for the most part and i didn't stop you know it's those little moments that really contribute to the result at the end right so i mean i'm i'm extremely proud i'm extremely proud about doing that i said that along the way i said if i can get anything near three three hours and 30 minutes i'll be extremely proud and i am i am proud we had an average heart rate of 153 beats per minute what i found is that on the the declines that would give my body and my heart rate uh some relief and you know even whilst jogging if it was downhill my heart rate would come down from something like 160 165 beats per minute slowly but surely come down to something like 140 um it and i felt it i felt it you know if i did have a 500 meter decline or whatever i jog the whole entire way um and then i get to the bottom and i'll be like shit i'm actually feeling i'm feeling a little recovered and i'd look at my heart rate and i it would have dropped you know 20 beats per minute so um heart rate is another really interesting measurable something i am really interested in especially resting heart rate uh i'm all about trying to get my resting heart rate as low as possible and as consistent as possible and the only way that you're going to get your resting heart rate lower than what it is now is to do cardio or do exercise that forces it to get higher um regularly so the higher it goes during cardio the lower it's going to be during rest because your heart is a muscle and it gets fitter it gets more capable okay let's look at the splits so we started off with a fair bit of elevation we started off in the sand actually jeep is creepers i don't know how that would go got through you know that that first bit of elevation at around about eight minutes per k got down to the bottom of that and it was kilometers five six seven eight and nine that were around about six minutes 20 per k and looking back you know i i i mean i i can't really remember how i was feeling at that point um but obviously it was it was pretty pretty easy going really compared to like what i had to go through at the end then we had our second piece of of really serious elevation and uh during those two kilometers trying to get up to the top the first k was at 11 minutes 54 the second was at 10 minutes 13 um and that took us to the top of euro ridge at kilometer 12 and a half or 13 heading down the other side of euro ridge uh it was yeah it was overall uh downhill but there was certainly some uphills as well 833 810 858 and then at around about k 17 through 18 19 i really started feeling it i started thinking holy shit i start i kept on looking at the clock as much as i didn't want to and i was sort of trying to do the you know the figures in my head and work out exactly how you know i was going to have to get to this k by this time to really give myself a chance to get under three uh three hours and 30 minutes and yeah it was a struggle it was a struggle 858 1006 916 916 and then there must have been uh well there was there was negative 46 uh meters worth of elevation and uh during that kilometer it was you know it would have been for the most part downhill and it came down to seven minutes 19 so that you know i sped it up a wee bit gave me an opportunity to to recover somewhat and then uh and then it was 803 805 730 823 and pretty much what felt like a sprint to the finish the 25th kilometer was six minutes 50 and then for the final 300 meters i was just doing all i could to get to this mystery marker that i i don't even know if i reached it or not but either way the final 300 meters was done at a five minute 44 pace so uh i will have put all those graphics up on the screen for you guys to see uh it's uh yeah and that is indeed my qualification for next year's 2024 west max monster ultramarathon which is going to be made up of that section of the larrapin to trail that i just did but also a 40 kilometer section prior to that so you start from a place called stanley chasm it's a 65 kilometer ultramarathon and you could only qualify for it if you've done a previous ultramarathon last 12 months or something or for local ellisprings residents do exactly what i just did log through strava your 25 kilometer simpsons gap to ellisprings run and it's got to be under four hours so the last thing i'll leave you with is an interesting well this is the competitor in me coming out i actually found this year's results for that particular section so the ultramarathon is it's got various lengths from five k's all the way up to 231 k's which is the actual west max monster so it goes 231 down to 128 then there's 65 25 and five k's so the 25 kilometer section that i just did is actually its own race on race day but i want to do something more than that either way what i was able to find is some results from the 25 k race that was run just a short two months ago so let's have a look i mean i'll yeah obviously doesn't doesn't really mean much but uh with a bit of training i feel like i could probably get it down to three hours 20 i i assume i mean maybe even three hours 15 but we'll take three hours 30 minutes and 15 seconds as today's finishing time and if we look at last year's results the winner petra millis walsh did it in two hours 33 minutes 37 seconds which is absolutely flying that is ridiculous that's pretty that's that's that's running the entire way okay that's fucked either way um for example 10th place came in at two hours 51 minutes and 47 seconds 20th place came in at three hours three minutes and two seconds 30th place three hours 11 minutes and 27 seconds 40th place three hours 21 minutes and 27 seconds and 50th place three hours 33 and 46 seconds so i must have come well i would have come between 46th and 47th position three hours 30 minutes and 12 seconds for 46 three hours 30 minutes and 25 seconds for 47 so i'm gonna say that if i mean i probably would have been a bit more motivated on the day and there's aid stations as well right you can you know get food and and drink and what have you so i would have been 47th out of a total of 169 so that's not bad

quite depressed recently for me to go out there and fucking do that and prove to myself that i you know i've got a base level of fitness you know it's it's it's really really rewarding and i'm sitting
