Taupo Relay
Run race (Taupo Relay Leg 5) 55:44 [4] 10.1 km (5:31 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 4
My first leg. It felt a lot darker than last year and for some reason, despite doing the same leg last time, it felt really different. Was going okay but probably could have pushed it a bit more. Not happy that my Mizone had gone off though and could have done with a lot more sleep beforehand!
Run race (Taupo Relay Leg 15) 34:30 [4] 6.1 km (5:39 / km)
shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 4
Second leg which I must have started around 1pm after a brief power nap. Wasn't feeling to crash hot by then (lack of sleep affecting dehydration) but was determined to get through the whole leg running despite it being Hatepe Hill (3km of steady climb) and my legs feeling like jelly (or lead - or both at the same time if that was possible). Success thanks to an awesome support crew and the encouragement of passing lots of people on my way up the hill (okay, so they were mostly walkers but still...).
Note
We came 30th in the running grade with a total time of 13:01:39. Awesome! That's about 38 minutes faster than last year! Team Firehorse rocks!
