#ProjectAfrica Day 37: 43km Not pretty out there. Spent half the night on the bog. Knew it was gonna be a big ask today. Set up like prime Mourinho in champo league semis. Tight at the back. Nothing silly. Get the 0-0 away from home and we’ll create magic in the return leg.…

#ProjectAfrica Day 59/60: 62km/60.9km State of it mate. Feral. No extra points for looking good out here. Nose to tarmac. Get about it. 2 months on road so far. Just the warm up. Mileage is only gonna get more intense. Logistics more problematic. Dangers more real. Lots at…

#ProjectAfrica Day 30/31 100.2km Accidentally consumed 650mg of caffeine today. Closed my eyes on the road this arvo and it felt like I’d been teleported to a deep house basement rave. Off my nut tonight. Other than that it’s been a steady couple days on the stomp. Body nearly…

#ProjectAfrica Day 58: 50.3km No more beers. Silly idea that. Monkey brain decision making. Happens every now and again. Fragile 1’s & 2’s this morning. Boys got a card chewed up by the atm. We ran out of caffeine (devastating). Google maps decided it’s got jokes now and sent…

#ProjectAfrica Day 69: 59km Another day carving size 9 holes in Angolan tarmac. My body is in a constant state of pain but once I’ve been running for a while sometimes it starts going numb which is handy. Shoutout to whatever part of my physiology that’s making that happen…
