Show Notes
Kia ora Welcome to another Chafing the Dream episode where plenty of chafing happened this weekend at the Kings Backyard Ultra. There was New Zealand records broken at the 24 hour mark with the most runners still standing at 16! There were also 3 newbies still standing at that 24 hour mark. The last man standing was the previous 2024 winner Anthony Kerr-Taylor and the last female standing was the ultra a day Shannon Leigh-Litt. We couldn't help but share some our favourite stories like Roberta representing Lithuania for her satellite team, Alex Nicholson our favourite local firefighter, and Emma's heart breaking DSQ. Mal was lucky enough to be on the mic most of Sunday, after the 100-miles or 24 hour/lap mark. She was able to see and get emotional with the stories runners shared. Dwayne and Mal discussed the winners of Kings, the rationale behind the disqualifiers and the weather. Because running races can never not bring up the weather. We also did a brief run down of our training, lactate threshold testing, and our upcoming event. Thanks as always for the listen. Keep chafing your dreams. Byyyyyyyyyeeeee
