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.

Tussock Traverse – A Slower Runner’s Report
The day begins in a very foggy National Park village. We meet the bus and set off at 7.25am. The bus moves us out of the mist and around the mountains to our start point on the Waihohonu track at a plodding pace.

Raglan Karioi Trail 2015 Results
Hawks made up a significant number of the Karioi Trail’s brave participants last month. It was pointed out that nowhere in this event’s promotion does it actually mention running. Sure enough, for those of us round the midpack, there was a solid lot of walking.
Taniwha 2015 Race Report
Never, I swore, would I run an ultra. Too far. Too dull. Too hard. I had friends who did them. Crazy, wild-haired folk with no toenails to speak of. Crawling between physios, bound in K-Tape. I also had friend who DNF’d in them. That’s a pain no K-Tape can fix. Why would you do it? I didn’t get it.
About 25km into the Taniwha, I got it.
