Almost a full year since I was on the start line of an event. I’m still working my way back from a meniscus tear, excited none the less to be bibbed up!
Mid-winter in Fiordland, despite the leisurely 10am start, it was flipping freezing. Lee, Nath and I all running the 10km distance, we know this trail well and the first hill should warm us up!
I really enjoy this course and trail, pretty smooth and runnable throughout, although def. not flat. I packed my heavy DSLR camera in my large vest, convinced I’d be taking it easy, perhaps stopping mid race to take a few photos. Although once we were underway, despite the extra weight, I felt good and didn’t want to stop!
Wonderful to see our Kepler legend Irene Barnes on the finish line and receive my medal from her. Definitely a highlight. Great to see Nath and Lee at the marque cheering me in too, both of them having run a great race!
Jacket on, now the camera comes out. Finish line vibes are my fave. Congrats everyone!
