A 6am start and just under 30 people have just started the first ever Kauri Ultra.
An uneventful trip up from Coromandel with Barbarella, Mal Law and Vicki Woolley. Another stunning trip along the windy gravel road to the top of the coromandel and around to Fletcher’s bay which is the start. We all stayed in a backpackers there and it was lots of serious race faces on. Not much yibba yabba so off the bed at 9pm. Probably asleep at 10.30pm once excitement allowed!
My body was super eager for its punishment to start ….so woke at 3.30pm and couldn’t get back to sleep. Never mind.
So we’re started now. Let the fun begin!!
