    I resumed the Everest Challenge last weekend 16/5/20. I wasn't able to keep my fitness level and it really showed. Only being able to complete 2 ascents on the Saturday my legs were trashed afterward so Sunday was out of the question.

    This weekend was a different story with my conditioning returning. I made it to Karangahake early Saturday around 9:30am. Fresh legs and cool weather with a great view (even a blanket of fog). Sunday I arrived a bit later a slight ache in my legs but nothing to be worried about. Overcast weather with some light drizzle and heavy fog at the peak. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything :)

    Unfortunately due to the level 4 Corona restrictions I will not be traveling to the Karangahake Gorge to run Karangahake mountain. Although I will complete the challenge when the restrictions are lifted.

    My love to those affected by the virus, their families and to everyone during this period. Don't feel you are alone technology is a wonderful social tool reach out.

    Um I slept in a little lol. Legs weren't 100% since yesterday but held out :D

    First started 10:15 top 11:13 bottom11:56.

    Second started 12:14 top 1:16 bottom 2:01.

    That last ascent was hard walked a lot. Then on the way down it rained phone and key under tshirt haha (note to self put phone in zip lock). Legs were pretty shot once I reached the bottom. But yay 6 down!

    I was planning to get to Karangahake Gorge at about 10am lol wishful thinking. I arrived just before 12pm. Started running up the mountain at 12:05 reached the top at 1:05 then down at 1:34. Second attempt I left at 1:45 reached the top at 2:55 and reached the bottom at 3:40.

    I hoped I would be fit enough to run without walking but um nope hahaha. The second attempt was gruelling. Was a heap of fun though I cant wait until next Saturday :) Only 16 more times to go! :D
