7 hours into HH12-AUS-008 the 12 hour Hurricane Heat in Glenworth Valley, Australia and the Students are having to transport 10 litres of sand 1 cup at a time down a creek while commando crawling (and carrying their uncooked egg). The mud and tidal nature of the creek means that movement is very restricted and the need to protect their egg. Wish them luck guys!

Some advice for new Stormchasers on fatigue management on our upcoming 12 hour.

Do not underestimate how draining these events can be and prepare wisely. Micro sleeps will be your saviour.

One week to go until our first endurance event of 2026: the 12hr Hurricane Heat.

More individually focused than a 4 hour, this event is the perfect way to test not only your physical capabilities but your mental strength.

You never know what your Krypteia will ask of you, and you are expected to put everything you have into the challenges, whether it's carrying a 10kg sandbag for the duration, or crawling along the beach with a bucket on your head.

Make the commitment and sign up to Glenworth Valley now.

And since this Krypteia probie is in a generous mood, use Purple10 to claim a discount for the heat.

Just over 2 weeks until our first event for the year, then 12 hour Hurricane Heat.

Set in Glenworth Valley, this heat will test your physical ability while asking you to look deep within yourself.

Will you accept the challenge?

Winter Death Race 2026 couldn’t break me … I went until my body could go no more, but I was not broken. 15 showed up, 14 started and 1 finished … every one of them champions who put in everything they had, and then some.
.
There are 15 souls who are forever my Pack … we did hard shit together, we held each other up and drove each other forward. It is not about winning … it is purely about surviving and enduring to the end.
.
I learned a few things …
- 7-hour solo hikes through the night in -17°C carrying a 25-30kg pack through 1-4 foot snow and sleeping in snow drifts is not only doable, it is a pleasure most people never attain.
- swims and submergence in 1°C water are a true gift when the outside air temperature is 18°C colder.
- memorising 4 stanzas of a new poem while traipsing down a snow-covered mountain is not only doable, it is a boon for taking away the constant thoughts of the oppressive weight on your shoulders and the strain on your quads and knees.
- the cold is a gift to remove the pain of feeling steel crampons dig into your flesh when you tread on your own bare feet.
- the knowledge that you are really not alone on the mountain suffering, you are doing hard shit with a like-minded pack of individuals and that no-one outside your pack will ever truly understand.
- that the mission, defeat, quitting and your comrades are concepts that most people simply ignore!
.
After 43 hours I handed my bib, #81, over to Andi Hardy when hypothermia and frostbite ended my race. I was not angry or humiliated at my failure … I never quit. I was, and still am, elated at lasting so long in this gruelling atmosphere. My race was done, yet my aspirations to bring more people into this ‘pack’ for the next WDR are burning even brighter. As with Mel and Dave and Sabi at SDR last June, and Saby again (lasting 47 hours before missing a challenge) with me this WDR, I desire more Aussies and French and Thai and Italians and every other nationality to travel with me to Pittsfield to see what lessons they can learn about themselves while ‘doing hard shit’. For only through effort do we grow, there is no growth in comfort.
.
Don’t come for the skull; come for the challenge!

HH CLASS 0035 @ the 2025 Spartan Moreton Bay Trifecta Weekend at #Woodfordia 💪

A massive AROO and so very grateful and a huge congratulations to all my fellow #StormChasers of the HH Class 0035 last SAT night at #Woodfordia!

Great to be joined by bunch of new people, “being lead by the old guard” (which may include me, but probably means @mick.butera lol 🤣) — I was also very impressed by everyone involved. Such a good vibe with hard work, GRIT and resurgence that was next level!

Thanks from me to all the Krypteia & leaders including @wise_old_bull @onemarkm @run.bake.mum @mi55_fit @spartanraceau @spartanendurance.au.nz.fiji @invictusaustralia #TeamVeteran @spartan_teamveteran
