Buller Half Marathon Challenge - the outcome
15 February 2021
I can report that I successfully completed the Buller half challenge on Sat 13th Feb. I snuck under the challenge time by 1min! Finishing in 2.04hrs. Pretty slow, but considering the short training period and the fact I suffered a partial tear to my MCL in my right knee 1.5weeks before race day, I am pretty happy to just complete it. It was a fair amount of pain in the last 5 km's! For those that pledged - time to pay up! For those that donated - Thank you so much.
I am a little short of the $5k donations target for the run so at this stage I do not have to commit to the full next year! - If late doantions tip it over the $5k mark then I will meet the challenge. Thanks to my brother Fraser for being a training partner, supporrter, and fellow competitor (he beat me!). And to Mike, Shaun, Amanda, Blair and Dad for being there on the weekend and supporting and / or running it also. Also to my wife Fi for builidng up my ego and doing everything to help me make the start line after my MCL injury!!! Legends.
