With every race event entered cancelled or postponed, I took it as an opportunity to set my own COVID project. Something different to triathlon, that was interesting and challenging, but above all fun. Something I had in the back of my mind for a few years was to run the Heysen Trail, which stretches from Cape Jervis in the south to Parachilna in the north. It’s a mostly off road trail about 1200 km in length. As soon as local travel restrictions lifted, armed with maps, apps and an appalling sense of direction, I was off. What could possibly go wrong?
