Ultra

It was our annual pilgrimage to Melbourne for Ultra. We have it down to a fine art - land, head to Supernormal for lunch and then off to the festival. This year we added brunch at Lucy Lui before our flight home. It's always a 5 star weekend.










My friend was recovering from Covid so we took it easy with a rest break for one set and then staying up the back after that. She did incredibly well to last most of the day/night. We were there for about 6 and a half hours, plus the taxis and a walk home. It's a big day!

But the sense of well being and elation is priceless.

Do you have annual traditions you look forward to even though you do the same thing each year?

As an aside, the rain did come, but so did the rainbows. And my $11.95 raincoat did so much better than a poncho. So all good!

Posts on previous Ultras are here: Sydney, Melbourne 24  and Melbourne 25 plus this funny one on the stress of what shoes will make my feet last the distance! And of course it gets a mention in Tell us about Festivals
