What a crazy few month it’s been with everyone on the edge of their seats wondering if races will go ahead. Thankfully we have been lucky and all of our athletes have been able to put many months of hard work and training into action. Some of their achievements from April/May are below:
Fastest Known Time (Supported) – Milly Young (44 hours and 31 minutes)
Scott’s Peak Dam to Cockle Creek along the Port Davey and South Coast Tracks (165km) Tasmania, Australia
Milly completed the fastest known time for covering the two tracks in one solid effort, beating the previous time of ~48 hours. Check out the video here by Untamed Media. The tracks provided a number of challenges, including knee/waist deep mud, overgrown sections, difficult wayfinding and plenty of river/creek crossings – two of which require rowing (but in actuality, swimming) due to the high winds. With 40km to go, Milly knocked her foot on a rock and later learned she had broken her big toe, but despite this she persevered to finish. She’s on the mend now and we hope to see her back on the trails soon, no doubt with an even more incredible goal to achieve.
