Running race 1:47:30 [4] 17.59 km (6:07 / km) +880m 4:53 / km
shoes: Inov8 X-Talon Orange
Porirua Grand Traverse
I did the mountain run leg with Kurtis Imrie (NZ Kayaker) on kayak, and Jonti on mountain bike. So we had a solid 10min lead after the kayak ;) Then Jonti had a smashing bike ride to set me off as the 3rd team.
I started about 10mins after the 'mountain run only' competitors had started, so spent the first 3km on the single track getting breathless from running up a hill whilst saying excuse me to all the slower people I passed. Opened up a bit on the steep track up to Colonial Knob, got into a good rhythm with another guy just before the track came out into the open. Managed to stay with him until halfway, when I stopped at the drink station and he kept going.
Downhills were epic fun...headwind was so strong it was hard to even move forward down the slope, but it meant I could just completely unleash without the fear of falling over so I managed to pass a heap of men down the hills.
Forgot about the last cheeky uphill from the beach, but was gaining on the 2nd 'mountain run only' woman and a couple of guys so kept shuffling along. Then unleashed on the last downhill to get past a couple more :)
Our team ended up finishing 2nd team (behind an all male team) and 1st mixed team. And I got the fastest womans run time :D

A lady out walking told me there was a creepy skinhead tattooed guy jumping out from behind trees down by Belmont Domain, so I changed my route! Ended up going along the riverbank to Melling, then up Tirohanga and back along the hills.
