After working 3 weekends in a row, I was finally off work for a long weekend...and we headed to Rotorua for the Lion Foundation Marathon (and 10K!). You can see a video of the start here (a very cool video!). Nothing is quite as inspirational as a real Haka to start you off on your race! Patrick beat all of the other runners in the Wanganui Harriers Club - and that's AFTER he ran the 100K trail race 5 weeks before! I beat my last time, offically by 1 minute, but if you don't include the 4 minute stop in the ladies' room half way through the race, it would have been 5 minutes (Of course, there was a line!). The marathon course goes around Lake Rotorua once, the 10K went through town and then looped back along the lake, through the Government Gardens. We had a little rain, but a lot of sunshine. It was a great day!
