Wanaka marathon

David completed his first offroad marathon in March this year. The old mens shufflers club - a group of 5 guys signed up to do it and 4 of them completed it (one had a convenient invite to a wedding on same weekend!). They ran from Wanaka to Arrowtown crossing Shania Twain's property. A picturesque route but with a lot of steeply undulating hills to cross. They did it in 5hrs 15 and were welcomed into Arrowtown by a big group of supporters including our whole family and Anne and John who had joined us for part of the holiday. A few days later David and I climbed Mt Roy - near Wanaka perhaps not the best recovery plan but too good an opportunity to miss out on a day together with A&J looking after the kids. It was a stunning morning with fabulous views that quickly clouded over so we got there just in time!
