Run the night

     I did a run with two friends called run the night. It was a 5km run in the evening at the Auckland domain. It was put on by Massy University and ZM. We got decked out in glow sticks, glow in the dark paint and glitter! All along the course were speakers and decorations. There was one area with disco balls and another that had arches with black lights. It was loads of fun. I really enjoyed getting to do a fun run.

Try-a-Tri

     About a month ago I did a try-a-Tri. It was a 100 meter swim, 10 km bike and 2 km run. I hadn't really trained for it. In fact I only registered the night before the race. I knew some other ladies who were doing it. They were all school moms. 

     Tanya and the kids came with me. We had to go to Maratia which is about an hour to the south east of the city. It took nearly an hour to drive there so we left the house at 630 in the morning. It made it into a pretty long day. 

     I really loved competing the tri. Tanya helped me set up transition and gave me lots of pointers. The swim was a bit stressful because there were so many people and we all swam over each other. I liked the bike bit. I was worried about having to clip and unclip from my pedals but it wasn't a problem at all. The run was tough because of my knee injury. My knee got sore when I was runnin so I had to take some walk breaks. I did the race in 43:34. I was third in my head group and 25th overall in the try-a-tri.
