The Heysen 105 is another iconic ultra in South Australia. These days it's actually 115km and goes in the reverse direction, but in 2019 it traversed the Heysen Trail from Newland Head to Rocky Creek Campground, winding its way through: Myponga Conservation Park Yulti Conservation Park Finniss Conservation Park Mount Magnificent Conservation Park Kyeema Conservation Park Kuitpo Forest.
Building up to this was daunting, and I was incredibly excited for it. I knew it would be a huge, life changing event. I had no idea how much. That day unbeknownst to me decisions were being made that would drastically change my personal life, and mistakes with hydration would see me collapse after I'd finished and go to hospital. They were for later. The run itself I absolutely loved. I had an amazing day, and no matter what followed this will always be an achievement I am proud of.
Here is my video recap.
I hope you enjoy,
Beck
