Stuart and I came 3rd in open mens 12 hr and 5th overall as we were squeezed out by a couple of vet men’s teams – which wasn’t so bad given Stuart just tips over into the Vet category.

You could also congratulate Kristina Strode-Penny who was the top woman in the Crazyman Classic, since although she’s not a club member herself she has a family connection with the club.

Although having said that, I’m personally not sure whether people who do things like the Crazyman Classic or 12 hour rogaines should be congratulated or whether they should be regarded as complete sickos and locked up for the protection of society at large…….

P.S. Kristina is giving a talk next week (although unfortunately it clashes with club night). See details below, if you’re interested:

Run, bike and kayak the length of NZ
Why not do it as a race?

The month-long nzwildplaces length-of-NZ race is happening for the second time this November.

If you are intrigued by what some people do for a hoot, wonder whether you could do such an extraordinary thing, or have even entered the race but aren’t sure what you are committed to, come and hear:

Why I raced the 2001 NZ race
How I prepared for it

C’mon Harry we know you are tempted. With your intelelct an wiliness yo’d clean up in the rogaine events. The rewards are huge. And for the record we actually did society (or at least the landowner) a great service on the day by saving a sheep that was totally exhausted from being stuck in a mud wallow. The look of gratitude in her eye more than made up for the pain experienced later in the day. Enrich your life Harry, go rogaining.

Maybe we should get Xena along to club for a talk sometime – she’s done some pretty remarkable things in the last few years.

yeah,

I note with much boasting that I came 70 out of 203 in the MTN bike! Xena was only 3 min ahead of me.

training? what training?
