@sydneysbackyardultra recap. Started the day feeling ready, strong and prepared to go for days. That all went out the window early and we DNFd on the 9th yard. Incredibly disappointing. At about the 6th hour, the heat and sun had some bite to it. Heat is not my friend. For the next 3hrs my heart rate kept spiking and we couldn’t get it to lower and stabilise, except to walk. Not really good when it’s a running event. It felt like there was someone sitting on my chest and breathing became very short. It felt like my heart was going to explode out of my chest. We couldn’t get back in time to start the 10th yard. Upon reflection maybe I wasn’t recovered enough from @buffalostampede_au 100km 2 weeks earlier or not quite over the sickness from the week. We learn. We don’t get to hit a home run or even get a base hit each time we step up to the plate, but the important thing is to actually step up in the first place and that’s what we will always do. Continue to step up, promote resilience and demonstrate that we are capable of so much more. #youcantbreakme Shout out to the crew; ‘The Boss’, @leevalentine1 @logz_h @chrispaterson_53 Special mention to @sachstroy for attempting the Guinness World Record. You’ll get it next time brother. To @treglz and the @180cadence crew, outstanding event and well done on putting on the world’s best backyard ultra. @invictusaustralia @simphysiotherapy @momentummediaaus @whiskey__friends @bodyarmour.au @theflexhaus
What a way to start the racing year! The Boss for team @runrocketrun had her first race of the season and kicked it off with a win. 1st female and 9th overall at @noosaultratrail 100km. She finished over 1hr ahead of the 2nd place woman and only 4min
What a way to start the racing year! The Boss for team @runrocketrun had her first race of the season and kicked it off with a win. 1st female and 9th overall at @noosaultratrail 100km. She finished over 1hr ahead of the 2nd place woman and only 4mins behind 7th overall. Superhuman effort. It was incredibly tough all day with the heat and humidity. All the hard work and effort put into training paid off. Shout out to @theflexhaus and @bodyarmour.au

Rodney completed the full 560km and, incredibly, he’s walking around today looking strong! Yesterday’s welcome at Resimac’s office was amazing, with partners, friends, and family all there to celebrate. A huge thank you to everyone who supported, cheered us on, and donated along the way. Rodney’s donation goal is still within reach, so we’ll keep it open a bit longer. Spread the word, and give what you can—every bit makes a difference. Let’s get him across the finish line for Invictus Australia!

Rodney’s just had lunch by the beach in Manly and is now on his way to the city. With the finish line almost in sight, he’s running one of his favourite stretches—the Manly to city coastal route. He knows this path like the back of his hand, so there’s no need for maps, just one foot in front of the other. On his team for this final leg: Amanda, his rock, and Recee, the triathlete soon-to-be ultra-runner. To make city movements smoother, we’re back in a Land Rover Defender, courtesy of Parramatta Land Rover. The power team is in full stride, and Rodney can almost taste the finish. Let’s bring it home!

Rodney and Amanda powered through Lane Cove National Park in the dark this morning, tackling technical trails and even dealing with a few leeches! They’re now joined by Recee—who just ran his first-ever 50km yesterday—and Logan, a key support crew member from last year’s challenge. Together, they’re pushing through Manly Dam, making great time with 4km in the bank from the last six days. The excitement is building, and Rodney is feeling superhuman as the finish line draws near.

A thunderstorm shook us awake at 1:30am, setting the tone for this final push. To make the finish line by 4pm, we’re up at 2am and hitting the road by 3am. Rodney’s not even sure he has a body anymore—just pain—but his mind is sharp and focused. We’ll reach Manly by midday, ready for that last push to the Resimac finish line. He’s stepping off this morning in the rain, and it’s only firing him up more. This is it.
