The ups and downs
Rā 7, Rāhoroi 7 o Kohitātea 2017
I spent the day out at Okataina clearing trails for Tarawera Ultra Marathon. It was a beautiful day.
Rā 317 Rāhoroi 12 o Whiringa-ā-rangi
A big adventure today. 23km sliding through mud. Great fun. Unfortunately, no photos of me in action, just the beginning and the end! Stunning setting for the start though and a great send off with a legend to set the scene and a haka.
Rā 316 Rāmere 11 o Whiringa-ā-rangi
Preparing tonight for tomorrow’s adventure. Tikitapu 23km which it appears may well be 24.5km! 900m of ascent and 795m of descent with ‘ropes provided to assist as you traverse the ridge line above the lake’. Bring on the challenge!
Rā 262, Rātapu 18 o Mahuru
Went out on the trails at Tarawera today. A bit of a step up for me to 22km with quite a bit of climbing. I felt really good out to the half way point but struggled in the last 5km coming back. Sustained upwardness on very tired legs. The weather was kind to us though. Four hours of run /walking and my legs know they did something today! Good tired though!
