🌟 Epic Achievement Alert! 🌟⁠ ⁠

Massive congratulations to Koda Hawkes, just 16 years old, for completing an incredibly steep MTB Everesting challenge in Tasmania! 🔥⁠ ⁠

8,863m climbed, 147.45km covered in 20 hours of moving time with no sleep, 57 laps of Fish Fingers Fire Rd, zero crashes, no walking, no mechanicals—pure determination and heaps of fun! 🙌⁠ ⁠

Reflecting on the journey, Koda shared:⁠ “Part of me still isn’t convinced I actually did it; I think it’s going to take a while to process. I’m incredibly proud of myself and how hard I managed to push. There were definitely points where it was tempting to quit, but I pushed through, and it paid off.⁠ ⁠

The midway point was definitely the most challenging mentally because it was hard to believe I’d have to do what I’ve already done again. Sleep deprivation kicked in at about 11am and lasted for a few hours, but once I was about 20 laps out from finishing, it went away almost completely, which was nice.”⁠ ⁠ Shoutout to everyone who supported and cheered Koda on—you were part of this incredible Everesting journey. 🙌⁠ ⁠
