I expect Lin Chen will pull out of Tarawera after winning a golden ticket at Black Canyon yesterday.

That’s great intel Jacqui! I would be very surprised if she didn’t after hearing that

And Robyn Leah finished 3rd in the 50km this morning. Will be impressed if she can back that up at Tarawera on Saturday

Funnily enough I am a consultant πŸ˜‚ but mostly it’s just because I do Freetrail Fantasy each week which means I follow the results of quite a few races.

Further to the Auckland vs Wellington debate, I thought I would add a Christchurch perspective. I found a Wellington trail on the Wild Things directory and jumped on it yesterday. It was 1.1km long and had 95m of vert. but there was a nice view at the top. It was called the Piwakawaka Track, but all I could hear was tui's. David Haunschmidt is noted in the Wild Things as having completed it 11 times this year so I can only presume 1km trails are the secret sauce in Wellington

I could at least spell the Flying Doctors name right. Apologies to David :)

Mate I think I might have written Haunschmidt more then the doctor himself at this stage - i might be running at around a 50% success rate πŸ˜‚

DCRs ratings really so low that they have resorted to rage baiting?
