Congratulations to Carolyn for running a fantastic race at the 11km Traverse at the Auckland Marathon - with the iconic harbour bridge to run over - which Carolyn said "It was tough running up the bridge, but the views made up for it." Hydration was on point - which was especially important with the warmer race day.
Carolyn is in the green with her friend Linda. It is always so lovely to do races and meet up with great friends for events. I hope you both had the best day out and catchup. Your family and friends must be very proud of you Carolyn. X

Sarah's smile really says it all - 42kms at the Auckland Marathon. Sarah paced her race really well - strong and steady throughout, and she said " I really enjoyed it". Nailing her nutrition and hydration to a T. Feeling great at the 25km mark on the way out to Mission Bay, Sarah was able to up her pace for a great negative split - no easy feat after the first 15kms of undulations on this course, and over the harbour bridge.
Sarah stuck to her Lydiard training with me with absolute dedication, and had the most amazing drive, motivation, and strength throughout her months of training. I am so proud of you Sarah, as I know all of your family and friends are. I know how much this marathon meant to you and you ran it with heart, and much inner strength. You are an absolute legend Sarah. XX

I will be cheering you both on. X

Congratulations James on running your full marathon at the Abingdon Marathon on Sunday back in the UK. Running 42kms in wet conditions is tough going, but I’m sure all those wet and blustery training sessions back in lil ole Taupo toughened you up for race day. 😁
I’m super proud of you James, and wish you the best holiday with your friends and family.
