North Island XC Champs 2016 Results
The best weather ever. Running with the frost still on the ground on the shaded areas of the Spa Park course. A great number of entries, as usual, meant very competitive racing.

Inaugural Waitomo Run 2016
Hamilton Hawks sent the finest they could find.
‘An Epic Week’
An invitation from my 13 year old nephew to fly to Queenstown and accompany him on the annual Wanaka Motorbike Trail Ride was a little hard to justify.
“how hard could 33k be?”
I entered due to a severe case of FOMO and thought “how hard could 33k be?” I bought new shoes (thanks to Colin at Trek n Travel) and toe socks. Four little training runs later and I was happy that they would keep me on the trail.
The Spikes
For the first cross country race of the season I pull my cross country spikes off the shelf to find them caked with last year’s last cross country mud. I am glad none of my club mates saw them.

Ngutunui training loop
Sunday was a training run organised by Graham, inviting all Hawks wanting a good challenging long run. Starting out early at 525m elevation, we could feel the brisk chill while getting out the long sleeve thermals. The usual thought of ‘why the hell are we doing this’ arrived.
It’s a walk not a run!
Rain and thunderstorms were predicted but our spirits were high and we were pleased to be chasing the 6am starters.
A blast from the past
