FKT: Mackenzie Burgoyne - Cape to Cape Track (WA, Australia) - 2023-10-28

Went out with the intention of running close to 14 hours at 9kmph average. As midday grew closer the lack of cloud cover made the temperature feel much warmer than it was. This resulted in dehydration and some gut issues as I struggled to get my heart rate down while taking on calories. I dropped down to close to an 8kmph average until the sun began to go down and I was able to speed up again. The final 2 hours I knew I would be very close and as darkness set this added another challenge. Aiming to take the final stretch fast on tired legs with low visibility resulted in a couple stacks between Mount Duckworth and Sugarloaf Rock. Eventually coming in with just 12 minutes spare this was a nervous finish but an incredible experience overall.
