Huia Fun Run

On Saturday, Katie and I went to Huia (in the Waitakeres) and completed the "Greatest Little Fun Run in the Universe", one of the Lactic Turkey events. We did the 5km run which went up a hill, down again and then though a bush track section, which got my shoes really muddy. We had a great time, which was made even better by the fact that we won stuff! Wooo YEAH.

I managed to come 3rd in the "Men's Open" grade (8th overall in a time of 23:14), while Katie came 3rd in the "Womens Open" Grade (18th overall in a time of 24:58). There were 204 participants so it wasn't a bad effort. We got a fluffy toy each which was good, coz then I didn't feel guilty about either keeping mine or stealing hers :)

Jono goes for a celebratory slide after completing the race:

While Katie is a bit more sensible and does some stretches:

Nice spot on the side of the dam as we waited for some of the other runners to go past:
