grunty

today was the day pf the luxmoore grunt. 27km of mountain running with a whopping 800m vertical climb followed by an 800m vertical descent. not the kind of thing that sane people do. i didn't really have any great expectations - have been sick with the flu for the past week and a half and spent all this week doing whio river surveys, covering about 50km walking down the clinton, tutoko and cleddau rivers. not really the best buildup. had secretly been hoping to beat my sister but wasn't that optimistic. But,hah....i was wrong!! did the run in 3:14, whipped my sister's arse but 15 minutes and would have been in the top 3 local women if i hadn't stopped for a pee near the end and been passed while i had my pants down round my ankles!! Bugger.
