Indian Pacific Wheel Race - IndyPac - IPWR

Mate you’re a trooper keep pedalling.

Just made it into South Australia. Won’t make it to Nullarbor Roadhouse before it closes tonight. It’s 188km away, next one is another 144km. I’m stocking up at Border Village with enough food and water to bridge the entire gap. So if I get to Nullarbor and feel energetic/ aggressive then I will be able to continue. Knee still swollen though. Isn’t that bad once it’s warmed up after 10km or so, but stiffens up when stopped. Big sleep last night. Just need to survive to Adelaide and keep Pawel in my sights.

Well done! You wont' have phone coverage now until just before Nullarbor RH.
I camped out in the bush around where you will be - it's pretty pleasant but lots of ants.
Yalata RH closed so next one is Nundroo, from memory more like another 180km!
I stocked up with loads of water at BV too and never needed it - Nullarbor was open by the time I got there.
A few of the guys were suffering with knee issues and they bought bags of ice at evey servo and sat with it on their knees while they ate. You can always get it usualy in fridges out the front, often even at night if you need it - just take it and leave some money somewhere.

Great work mate, don't overcook your knee! Health is more important than winning.

Same thing happens to me every ultra.

Got any Voltaren? (Ibuprofen/NSAID you can rub into your knee).
I don't recommend pill form Ibuprofen any more.
