There’s a first time for everything.... and for me today that was blindly rock climbing off route as I missed the second lot of arrows on the trail indicating a turn lower down 🙈 Fortunately, new trail friend Lauren (pictured below me) and Morgan were there to stop me from needing a helivac (#exaggeration). However, on the plus side, who’d have thought that scared-of-heights-me would so boldly head up a rock face 😜 Amazing what your head does on a tough trail run when you’ve been scrambling, clambering and stumbling over rocks for a couple of hours in the dust and heat! Larapinta Stage Two - a substantially challenging 20km - LOVED it! Roll on Stage Three and the camping ⛺️ #climb #boulder #rock #runlarapinta #multiday #trailrunning #trailandultra #trailrun #running #runhappy #SWAPteam #tailwindnutrition #trailsisters #fuelyourpassion #garminau #trailchix #stagerace #runstrong #northernterritory #centralaustralia #australia #gopro #goproanz #desert #desertrun

What a cracker of a shot from Matt Hull Photography of Morgan and I during this evening’s stage! Barely showered and had our dinner and beautiful free event photos are already online - what an event! Thanks @rapidascent 👌🏻 #runlarapinta #multiday #trailrunning #trailandultra #trailrun #running #nathanvaporhowe #runhappy #SWAPteam #tailwindnutrition #garminau #trailchix #stagerace #runstrong #northernterritory #centralaustralia #australia #alicesprings #gopro #goproanz #petzl #desert #desertrun #rocktape

STAGE ONE ✅ An absolutely stunning twilight run and such a fun surprise seeing these lights in the desert at the finish line❣️ With the race being only 11kms tonight (as we’re running the short course event), we may have had some team communication issues in the first few kms which had me redlining trying to keep up with Morgan 🤣 I’m more of a “give me 40 minutes to warm up” and then I’m good to go kinda lass these days! But we learned our lesson and we finished strong and loved the scenery. The dry, dusty feeling in the back of your throat is going to take some getting used to and tomorrow is set to be a scorcher 🔥 Can’t wait to see it all! #runlarapinta #multiday #trailrunning #trailandultra #trailrun #running #telegraphstation #nathanvaporhowe #runhappy #SWAPteam #tailwindnutrition #garminau #trailchix #stagerace #runstrong #northernterritory #centralaustralia #australia #alicesprings #gopro #goprokarma #goproanz #petzl #finishlinefeels #desert #desertrun

If the in flight views are anything to go by, this is going to be an incredible four days of running around Central Australia 🇦🇺🐫❤️ #redcentre #australia #runlarapinta #multiday #trailrun #trailrunning #larapintatrail #northernterritory #centralaustralia #desert #virginaustralia #aerialphotography #landscape #adventure #explore #getoutside #outdoors #trailsisters #trailchix #trailholiday #runholiday #seeaustralia #ultratraining #trailandultra #trailrunner

These legs and I have had our ups and downs, but so far this year they’ve run 2000kms 🙌🏻 While the number itself is pretty arbitrary, both the good times and the challenges I’ve faced over those miles are what makes this little milestone worth reflecting on for me - and I am SO very grateful 🙏🏻 This also falls at a pretty fun time, as over the next few weeks I get to celebrate by running at least 130kms of trail I’ve never seen before at Run Larapinta and WECH50 and I can’t wait to soak in those new vistas! 💕 #trailrun #trailrunning #run #running #outdoorwomen #adventure #explore #getoutstayout #getoutside #outdoors #underarmour #sauconyperegrine #saucony #ultratraining #runhappy #runstrong #stravarun #garminau #onelifeliveit #travelplaylive #embracethespace #outdoorlife #multidayrunner #stagerace #whywerun #challengeyourself #fitness #happyrunner
