Giving Gut Cancer a Run for it's Money!

Well, today I attempted to run up the Rāpaki track with one of my besties, and it really knocked my confidence. I thought I'd be able to slowly run most of it, as I've been fairly happy with my progress on the flat, but I was on struggle street from the incline of the road before the track even starts! It was a real eye opener, and made me realise that if I'm going to have any chance of competing the Race Tekapō HM, I need to get on the hills every week. Especially having checked out the race profile again - there's a steep ascent up to the summit of Mount John after the 2km mark! Yikes. Watch this space for more updates....
