G'day Andy - glad you like the blog
You must have met Frosty! Anna Frost from NZ - she's an incredible athlete and just a lovely person and would kick my butt on an uphill run (and most of the guys too!). Reckon I might have a chance on this terrain tho!
Be great if more girls got out (and guys for that matter!) and had a crack at it! It's just a great little adventure at the end of the day.
Cheers, Sarah
PS - thanks everyone for the well wishes - I really worked hard reccying and training for this one so nice to see the training pay off. I intend to have another crack when conditions are next in to see if I can get under 1:40, so keep tuned to the blog.
