Running (Mixed) 3:39:43 24.23 km (9:04 / km) +1024m 7:29 / km
ahr:126 max:176 shoes: Inov8 X-Talon 212
Hillary Trail(ish) - Piha to Swanson
Risked running a bit more from the start today, though that was only a few km before I hit a big climb. As with before, the coastal views were awesome, before heading inland to fields and forest and big brutal climbs and descents. Was going ok generally, but the last quarter was a bit of a strugglefest of muddy climb, contouring and descents, before some quicker stuff to finish along the road.
Good fun adventuring, and good testing of kit and practicalities. Was carrying too much kit - camping in Rotorua had been freezing overnight but could have done without the down jacket here and probably my camping mat. Maybe dropped another thermal layer too, but wasn't sure how quickly I'd be moving given hamstring so played it pretty safe on food/drink quantities & warm clothes availability.
Next up is going a bit further, in the Barrington Tops, in winter...
