One of the resolutions for the new year is to get fit. So, there is nothing better than to start the new year with the famous Waiheke Wharf to Wharf run. The run have three races - the 25km, 12km and 7km. I opted for the 7km race, thinking that I haven't been running for a long time, and the first race was a tedious, hilly profile is going to be challenging enough. I managed to convince Emma (my university friend from Australia) and Nori (visiting from US) to do the run with me. Justine (our friend from university) and Hannah were supporters waiting for us at the end with cold drinks and warm hugs :P
Everyone did well, running way below the time we expected to finish. I am happy with my result because I went into the race hoping to run at a pace of 5.5mins/km, and I finished even faster than that. I completed the race in 35mins flat!
Now onwards to the next race!
