Sydney Medical School students finish the race
How long does it take to walk 100 km of Australian bushland—in the rain?
The Walking Med, pumped and ready to go!
Two OzTREKK Sydney Medical School students decided to find out, and did it for a great cause! Oxfam works to find practical, innovative ways for people to lift themselves out of poverty and thrive. They save lives and help rebuild livelihoods when crisis strikes, and campaign so that the voices of the poor influence the local and global decisions that affect them. Oxfam works with partner organisations and alongside vulnerable women and men to end the injustices that cause poverty.
Adam’s selfie: So far, so good!
In order to assist people who live in poverty, Oxfam holds Trailwalker around the world. The Sydney Medical School students, Kate and Adam, along with two others, volunteered their time for this worthy cause and participated in the Oxfam Trailwalker Australia, Sydney.
While the weather wasn’t spectacular, the four med students pressed on, crossing New South Wales countryside and bushland in the rain and muck. When asked if they had taken photos for OzTREKK, they replied, “Not surprisingly, we didn’t take a whole lot of them as it was raining and gross and we were somewhat delirious the longer things went on!”
Kate: What’s a little rain?
When you realize how far these students walked (on sketchy terrain), you can understand their delirium!
The Walking Med finished in 38 hours and 58 minutes (no sleep!) and raised more than $3,000 for Oxfam to help them continue their efforts to give people the education, tools and nutrition they need to raise themselves out of poverty!
This is what being an OzTREKK student is all about!
Good on ya, guys! We’re proud of you!
Congratulations, guys!

Sydney Medical School students participate in Oxfam Trailwalker
A group of Sydney Medical School students are super-psyched to push themselves to the limit for an amazing cause this Friday, August 22!
In support of Oxfam Trailwalker, the four students aim to raise money by walking 100 km. The challenging Sydney trail features the well-known Great North Walk and the Harbour to Hawkesbury Walking Track which lie in the rugged and beautiful bushland of northern Sydney.
“The Walking Med” will be hiking 100 km!
Two of the medical students, Kate and Adam, are OzTREKK students! They will start the trek as “The Walking Med,” but may finish looking more like The Walking Dead!
Who is Oxfam?
One person in three in the world lives in poverty. Oxfam is determined to change that world by mobilising the power of people against poverty. Oxfam Trailwalker began in 1981 as a military training exercise for the elite Queen’s Gurkha Signals Regiment in Hong Kong. It has since grown into one of the world’s leading team endurance challenges.
Around the globe, Oxfam works to find practical, innovative ways for people to lift themselves out of poverty and thrive. They save lives and help rebuild livelihoods when crisis strikes, and campaign so that the voices of the poor influence the local and global decisions that affect them. Oxfam works with partner organisations and alongside vulnerable women and men to end the injustices that cause poverty.
Oxfam Trailwalker around the world
Oxfam Trailwalker is fast becoming a global phenomenon. In 2014 Oxfam Trailwalker will take place in India, New Zealand, Spain, Japan, France, UK, Belgium, Ireland and Hong Kong
Globally, the events have raised more than $140 million for Oxfam’s valuable work in Australia and around the world, with more than 200,000 people taking part and becoming great ambassadors for Oxfam’s work.

Oxfam Trailwalker launched in Australia in 1999, with events in both Sydney and Adelaide raising more than $250,000. A Melbourne event replaced Adelaide in 2003, and in 2011 Brisbane hosted its first Oxfam Trailwalker. In 2013 the inaugural Oxfam Trailwalker Perth event took place in October.
Oxfam Trailwalker is Australia’s original 100km team challenge! Oxfam Trailwalker currently takes place in Melbourne (April), Brisbane (June), Sydney (August) and Perth (October).

Ive been away from tumblr for a while, sorting my life out.
Well life sorted and im back.
Bit of an update: This past weekend 5&6 of April, i completed the Oxfam trailwalker, walking 100km in 30 hours. It was tough, it hurt like ive never felt pain before, i cried and just wanted it to be over but i completed it.
One of my team mates was terrible, she refused to slow down and treated this team challenge like her own personal competition to see how fast she could walk. Whereas the team's goal was to complete it, we didnt care how long it took. What this meant is that i spent 40 km asking her to slow down and having to walk faster than was comfortable for me. This resulted in extremely painful blisters all over my feet and for the remaining 60km, walking much slower than i would have had we walked at my pace (the slowest team members pace) for the whole event. Grrr, so angry.
I will do it again next year but not with the same team.
Anyway, so ive done this epic challenge and now im looking for another challenge. Im thinking i would like to do a 10km swim next year, i will need to do plenty of training to get up to speed on this, i havnt swum in a competition suitation for a very long time.
In the mean time, while training to do this 10km swim and of course the trailwalker next year, i need something to keep me busy. Im think triathlon/ duathlon (given its nearly winter here).
Anyone who does Triathlon or duathlon, runs, swims or cycles, who could give me tips on getting started?
I dont really run, i can run for very short distances so i guess his is a good starting place.
All offers of help welcome
