Or, 160km of awesomeness.
Or, Pip does Taupo!
Official time 6.32 hours. Ride time as per my cycle computer (not including stops) 6.20.
Woot, woot, woot, woot, woot!
I'll write a proper race report later, but for now I'll just say that it was a beautiful day, if a little too hot (32 degrees on Hatepe apparently) and I enjoyed every second of it.
Yaayyyyyyyyyy!

There are as many reasons for running as there are days in the year, years in my life. But mostly I run because I am an animal and a child, an artist and a saint. So, too, are you. Find your own play, your own self-renewing compulsion, and you will become the person you are meant to be. - George Sheehan
About Me
- Pip
- Wellington, New Zealand
- I'm a runner and a mum to far too many cats and two spoiled greyhounds. I am of late a very occasional writer. I live in Wellington in a ramshackle villa on the side of a hill. During office hours I do the public servant middle management thing and formulate my ten year plan to move to Central Otago to run the family vineyard.

Woo hoo! I was so glad when I got your happy text yesterday that I had to exclaim out loud...but then my friends just looked at me confusedly 'cos they didn't know what I was talking about;p
You were aiming for around 6 something weren't you? And did you manage to get some good sunscreen young lady?!
Thanks! I was aiming for around six and a half so was spot on. If I hadn't had to stop three times I would have beaten my target by over 10 minutes.
My sunblock application seems to have worked quite well. I have one scarey livid red strip on my left leg where my shorts rode up, but other than that I'm fine!
I'll post a detailed race report when I can summon the energy to write down everything I have to say!
Excellent work!
Great work! Congratulations :) Have you decided on your plan for 09 yet? :)
Look forward to the extended blog version
