What stood out to you most about actually doing the back-to-back days and the events themselves, how they kind of go day one into two, three, four, etc.? ?

Yeah, look, I had first been to Four Peaks probably maybe 2013, like it was years ago.

There's little photos of young little Kelly and Tegan when we first met.

And so I'd been hanging out.

We'd been back quite a few times but only managed to get one or two races in.

So I was so excited last year to do all four and I got the flu the week of but I tried to ignore it and I was still determined to do all four races.

Um, it's, it's really challenging backing up day to day.

Who do you have an eye on?

And what led to the decision to apply for your eighth Australian team? Yeah,

it's a good question because towards the end of last year I wasn't going to apply.

I think I did a little bit too much last year and I crashed and burned and learned the hard way.

Just did a few too many long races and, yeah, I tore my hamstring probably June last year, right before I went to Europe to train with the Hoka team and do OCC and then World Champs.

So I did everything possible to be able to run, but it really took probably close to 12 months to properly heal and feel myself again.

So I really changed my training.

I backed everything right off.

but um
