Tell us who you are, who you run with? And how long have you been running for?
I'm Travis, I'm a 21 year old University student who got into running just over 2 years ago, in this short time I have been fortunate enough to run races from the 5km - Marathon and achieve a few milestones such as a Sub 3 Marathon. I recently joined Athletics Nunawading Club in hopes of improving my running and on the side I also run with @osaat.running
Why do you run?
I run to improve my fitness, clear my mind, and prove to myself that I can set challenges for myself and do hard things, to show myself that I won't quit when things get hard, and that I can strive to be the best version of myself.
What motivated you to take on your chosen race this year?
This will be my first time doing the Great Ocean Road 23KM Half Marathon, I have heard amazing things in the past about the scenery and the event as a whole, I chose this race to set myself a challenge and to work on my goal times.
Do you have a goal?
Sub 1:20:00 for the Half Marathon but sub 1:25:00 for the entire 23km.

Racing as part of Team SHYU, what does this mean to you?
To be racing as part of Team SHYU is an honour as SHYU have been part of my training for over a year now. The socks provide the ultimate comfort in all my runs, no blisters, and the best part of all, they look good. To be able to represent a brand that has helped me in my running journey is an absolute privilege and something I am extremely excited for.
