Rogaine race (NZ Rogaine Champs) 12:00:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Merrell Allout Rush (#3)
With Emily. We planned out a great route and executed it pretty well but we slowed right down after my feet decided to develop blisters, like, everywhere after less than 9 hours. Was so frustrating as my legs felt great and I didn't feel sleepy. Poor Emily had to listen to me curse and scream a bit as the event went on. She still seems to be speaking to me though so that's good. Plus there was the great moment where I had to haul myself up a hill on my hands and knees...but it was 100 points!! So much pain...
I could rant about some of the controls but I don't really feel like it. The course was great and these guys stepped in to organise an event within a pretty short space of time for something of this length. Before my feet exploded I was having a great time.
