It might be a bit cliché to do a 'running wrapup' of the year, but I've never really done it before and figured it would be a good way to document some lessons learned from the year.

The Guzzler is a trail running event on the slopes of Mt Coot-Tha in Brisbane, which takes one on a tour through national park and past three of Brisbane's reservoirs. In 2023 I ran the 100km event, went out a little too hard and despite an implosion at 60km, finished in 13:36:00 and 7th place.
Running Schliersee to Tegernsee
Continuing the theme of using running to explore new places, whilst staying in Schliersee, Bavaria I ran across the hills to the next village over - only a short run, but one that was filled with snow, excellent views, friendly locals, and a pub on the hill only accessible by foot or cycle.
A run / hike up the Brecherspitz
The Brecherspitz is an impressive peak near Schliersee, Bavaria. Whilst on holiday there during the winter, I decided to do a run / hike up to the peak as a long run. An amazing mountain to climb, with epic scenery and views. Despite a slight injury it was still an awesome run.

A weekend running in the Snowy Mountains
A weekend spent running in the Australian Alps. We spent two days camping and running around the Guthega area in Kosciuszko National Park. With runs up to Mt Twynam, the Munyang Aqueduct and the Rennix trail, it was a tiring but great weekend!
