The One Where We Run

The fine looking team in our hats!
It ended up being so hot and gruelling that we decided to ditch the hats... but the beer and hot chips at the end were fantastic!!!

I ran the third leg of the Queen Charlotte Relay, 8.1k and I did it in 50 or so minutes. Not bad for four training runs beforehand! The other legs were coastal but mine turned inland and went across flat dairy country. I hit the wall about 6 k and I didn't know where I was or how far I'd run and how far I had to go and imagined myself stuck in kind of a NZ Purgatory... flat endless roads surrounded by green pastures filled with cows. Ugh. Fortunately I came to the end and I was able to hand my baton on.
