Final Post of a Would-Be Ultra-Marathoner

We're heading out early tomorrow morning and should reach Te Anau tomorrow night. For those not familiar with little ol' Nu Zild, the Kepler Track is the red dot just outside Te Anau. The ENTIRE red dot!

I've done as much training as I've done and am the fittest I'll probably ever be. I'm assuming at this stage I'll get through the race - ideally in under 10 hours, but perhaps more realistically somewhere under 11.

I haven't looked at the long range weather forecast as we'll be running it in almost any and all conditions, unless it's dire when we'll be running the last (flat) 30km there-and-back.

Fingers crossed, stomach in, head up and see you on the other side.

P.S. If you're heading down there and spot me, come and say hi.

  1. Awesome El! I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes. Just remember to try to enjoy it, the route looks amazing (for the first half at least!).

    Are you going to carry a camera?

  2. Hiya CJ - yeah, plan to carry my cellphone and snap some pics, but no promises on quality.

    Fingers crossed I'll have some of them up towards the end of next week.
