In this wrap-up episode, Kevin “Big Kev” Matthews takes us deep into the heart of his fifth Delirious West finish—sharing all the highs, lows, and hilarious moments that made 2025’s edition “The Hilly Year” one to remember.
From Mandalay-to-Mount Clare misery (times two) to epic pasta dishes and the infamous “magic hill” at Shelley Beach, Kev recounts a race that was tough on the legs but full of soul. He talks about how he managed his energy, stayed social on the trail, and learned the value of proper food over sugar-packed snacks.
This episode is packed with Kev’s signature wit, wisdom, and warmth—and a very entertaining sprint finish inspired by a cheeky WhatsApp message.
Key Highlights:
•Why Mandalay to Mount Clare “sucked both ways”
•The value of mid-race sleep, real food, and ditching the gels
•That time Kev hallucinated SUVs on a dike near Lowlands
•Jet ski in the dark, steak and onions at Peaceful Bay, and the ultimate nap at Shelley
•Kev’s take on why we all keep coming back—even when we swear we won’t
•The sprint finish sparked by a phantom Charles in the group chat
