The fourth section of the WUU2K looks to be the easiest, on paper. But even though it is downhill for a lot of the way, it is still really hard on your legs.
I got up onto the top of the ridge, looking out towards the South Island and realised pretty quickly that I was in an actual race – against the weather. You could see the line of clouds with dark rain beneath them sweeping towards the city.
And I had no raincoat.
I think it is the fastest I have run that section, and it was weird watching the clouds roll in, and curl around the hills and the harbour entrance. I could see the track I had just run on, about 10 minutes earlier disappear into the clouds.
In the end I made it home without getting too wet. But it just goes to show how quickly the weather can turn on you here.
