Australian Mountain Running Championships 2019

8 days out, the Saturday before the race, was where I freaked out. I was home alone, getting ready for race week and trying to organise my travel to Queensland, when it all hit me at once. My longest run in the last 5 months up until that point was 12km, and the race was 14km up and down a bloody mountain. I sat, breathed, meditated, and ate chocolate peanut butter as I tried to reframe my thoughts.
