Comments: Starts in the dark and headlamps not put away until 90 minutes into race. First climb, of four, takes 2 1/2 hours unrelenting climbing! Then it just gets worse over the next three peaks. Each time you get to the top of a peak you plunge steeply down into the valley below, only to begin ascending all over again. What would you do differently?: More hill work?  Post race
Warm down: Beer! What limited your ability to perform faster: Calves were the limiting factor going up hill. More work required before the 2020 race! Event comments: Truly a difficult run over awesome terrain. It's rated as one of the hardest mountain ultra races in NZ. Outstanding scenery. Superbly organised as you'd expect with the Ironman organisation running it. Last updated: 2018-11-06 12:00 AM

2 1/2 hour bus ride to start!
None! It was freezing - about -3'C. Stood in front of a generator powering the portable lights at the start line, trying to keep warm!
