Auckland

Last weekend I took myself off to Auckland to run a marathon. Despite the 3.30 alarm call to catch the ferry to the 6am start in Devonport it was a really good event. The course runs round the North Shore then across the Harbour Bridge into downtown Auckland then along Tamaki Drive through the bays before turning back into the finish near the centre of town. It's easily the biggest race in NZ and they put on a really good event.
Sadly, thanks to a month long cold I couldn't shift, my performance was a bit rubbish but I got round to collect my T-shirt and medal.
