Karetai Challenge 2010

This is the 3rd consecutive year that I have participated in the Karetai Challlenge. It was a 9am start from the Shiel Hill Tavern. I was very pleased with my time of 25 minutes to the Centre Road turn off. It was a downhill walk to Tomahawk and then a left turn to the Tautuku Fishing Lodge. The Karetai Track was dry and had all the ruts filled in. I was pleased with my ascent to the gravel road. From here I seemed to slow down. I had no blisters to worry about. The walk back along Highcliff Road was slow for me with a number of walkers passing. However I finished in 2:15:00 which is my second best time.
