Its been 8 days since I set out on my first race that was part of the Buffalo Stampede Grand Slam, in the sleepy town of Bright in the Victorian Alps.

Hares and Hounds 51(?)K
Last year was meant to be my H&H debut but a sciatic muscle strain meant that I had to pull out in the last minute.
Volunteering to photograph the race was my next option and I was glad to contribute back in this way.
Last year’s weather was perfect for photography – overcast with some showers – it was perfect for running as well.
This year the weather was not so kind.
Misty Mountain Trail 20km – Race Recap
My first crack at the Misty Mountain 20K was an amazing experience.
From the start, I could feel my heart in my throat and fatigue in the legs as if they were out of gas.
Soon the first climb started and I found myself following a runner into 3rd position. He then let up a little and before I knew it I took 2nd place for what seemed like 15-20mins.
