After Rotorua running Huntly felt like a walk in the park. After a mere 10km I realised I was half way already – and it felt like I had only just warmed up! At 21km I just remember thinking “oh, was that it? I don’t think I can even justify the big lunch I was planning on having….”. Then I thought “what could make this harder? I know…I can run it twice”. Sometimes I do wonder who this person in my head is…

All up Huntly was a good run. I finished in a comfortable 1 hour 30 in 6th place for the Open Women, a time I was happy with considering I hadn’t really run since Rotorua.

Unfortunately, after running a full marathon, a half does not seem to be as challenging as what I remember them as being….doh! what am I going to be like after the Ironman??
