Team TRAQ Camp 2![]()

The final word from our camp last weekend goes to our mentor at the camp, Ben Duffus who is well known to all in the not just local and national trail running communities but also overseas for some of his amazing performances overseas.![]()
![]()
Ben said, “Certainly seemed like everyone learned a lot (and it’s a testimony to the experts brought in that people were then booking into see some of them afterwards), and as Billy was saying, I think everyone’s close enough now that they’d be pretty comfortable if we were to do something like a pre-UTA camp in the Blue Mountains (or something similar for any major event) or possibly try to organise accommodation, etc together if we were all heading to something like an Aus Champs/selection trials.”![]()

It was so good having Ben there to share his experiences with the team. Just the little side chats and the longer chats in the runs are invaluable for those new to trail running. Thanks for sharing your time and wisdom Ben.![]()

Next up we have one of our younger runners Zack Newsham. Unfortunately Zack had some work commitments on the Sunday but it was great to have him there for the day on Saturday. ![]()

This is my second camp now and always look forward for the date. I do a lot of solo running so when I’m able to link up with like minded people for a few runs it definitely excites me. I appreciate the opportunity to chat with runners that have similar plans coming up or completely different. ![]()

I enjoy being able to pick peoples mind on topics that the internet just can’t give and especially having Ben Duffus there to ask questions to as he is an encyclopaedia for this sport. ![]()

Sadly had some work commitments so wasn’t able to stay for the whole camp. But for the time I was there I was able to sit down with Slyvia Pfeffer Sports Nutritionist and take in valuable information about the best fueling and recovery choices. ![]()

I have to give a big thanks to Geoff Russel for his efforts in organising these camps. Appreciate all your hard work that goes into the camp but as well, what you do for Trail Running in Queensland ![]()

It’s always good having Zack at the camps as he’s a real student of trail running and adds a lot of value to others with his experience he’s had for someone so young, recently finishing 2nd at Coastal High and was also second at the Golden National Trails Series for u23 runners overall![]()
