Anyone without a bed is welcome to crash (free) at our place in Hawea. Prob 30-40 min to Cromwell itself. I can drive over probably 4-5 people as well to the start.

Good to see the videos. I can see how our training through the Waitakeres will pay off. Well done Terry and co for a great effort. I trust you have recovered well. I am SO looking forward to event day and I’m not even joking. Thankful, however, that we’re only doing 50ks at this point.

Comment on So what is ‘pacing’ anyway??? by Chris

Hi, question about pacers, will they be allowed to help carry your gear, pull/push you up hill with bungee etc, if so this hardly seems a level playing field for those not doing so?? It hardly seems to fit in with the hard, individual rugged NZ ethos.

Originally we thought it would be easier to finish on a 50k loop than a 60k loop. It meant NOT doing the loops in geographical order which made tracking the competitors and managing the marshals much more of a hassel. In fact, the 60km loop has more runnable sections than the 50km loop last year and with a major aid station up the mountain it’s not like you’re going out there for the final 60km unsupported… So short story is – it’s easier for us to track the competitors, it’s easier to manage the marshals, and it’s probably a nicer loop to finish on – although by this stage nothing actually feels ‘nice’!

Good on ya Brent! I hope you got as much out of it as I did! Painful at the time, but you get lots of contemplation over the following week .

Thanks for the video blogs – they help a bunch…

When/why did they change the order of the loops – it seems like it used to be 50k, 60k, 50k ?
The map for the 60k loop still says: “100 mile, 2nd 60k loop”…
Doesn’t really matter, just interested why..

Looking forward to this
