Bushwalking has recently taken a back seat for me as I’m training again for a return to track ultra walks. My ‘comeback’ event is a 12 hour race at Coburg, Victoria on 9 April, 2022. I entered the race as a way to motivate myself to train again and get back to walking further and faster. It is working and I’m getting fitter and losing weight too! I am planning to enter the 100 mile/24 hour Australian Centurion qualifier in April 2023. I’ll do some shorter track ultra walks before then and also a marathon. I still have some exciting plans for bushwalks and other long hikes too.
Of course, all this will also require careful juggling of my jazz teaching work and gigging schedule with training.
