This was the second consecutive year that I entered this event. It is part of the Coastal Series with the Papatowai Walk two weeks earlier. Unfortunately I missed the Papatowai Walk as Denise and I were in Auckland for the weekend.
It was a brilliant day for the Karetai Walk even though there was a cold nip in the air at the start. As the day progressed it was overcast with no wind. The sun appeared for the last section of around 5km.
My time was a personal best of 2:13:01 taking 5 minutes of my time from last year for this 16.5km race.
I came in 13th (6th man) out of 47 but was in 10th place for 2/3 of the race. I was able to power up the hill but 3 people passed me coming down the Highcliff Road decline to the finish at the Shiel Hill Tavern.
It was nice having Craig to support me and his sister-in-law.
