I did the Great Lake Relay in Taupo with Baldwins, Ingrid's company. We ran about
160Km with about 16 of us
doing different legs. I did 10.1Km and it was graded hard
as it had the second hardest hill to run, one that seemed as though it would never end!? Because of the hill, I thought that I would not be able to break 1 hour for
this distance, but I was very happy with my 57 mins in the end. I remember running
56 mins for the Daily Dispatch fun run in East London many years ago - I was much
younger and it was mostly flat...
All the people left in the van would scream and shout encouragement to the person
running their leg, which was not only fun, it really helped.
On the way back from the run, we stopped at Huka Falls as it was not far out of
our way and worth seeing.
