Injury history: Chafing of the lower buttocks: Solved with A&D ointment. Discoloured "frostbit" toenails: Solved by getting one larger shoe size.

Things I like most about ultras: Metamorphosis of the physical body. I am addicted to the rush after the catharsis of an Ultra. I love the fragrances on the trails.
Things I hate most about ultras: I don't like Ultras that repeat a loop. I prefer Ultras that are point to point.
What got me started doing Ultras: Natural progression from half marathon to full and then I was not interested to go faster. I only wanted to go further. Next is Barefoot Trail Running
Ultra Heroes: Vanessa Runs, Patrick Sweeney
Favourite ultra quote: "It also makes me feel invincible. Like I can do anything. It’s an accomplishment that nobody can take away from you. Often when I go through hard experiences in life, I think back to my ultra. And I reason that if I can do THAT… I can overcome anything."
Other comments: I love Bikram Yoga
