A week ago I competed in the New Zealand Masters Games in Wanganui in the 10 km [6 mile] Road Race.
Lea, I and her girls travelled up at 6 a.m to the event on a warm but cloudy day.
I will let the photos and captions relay the event.
The race traversed the Wanganui River.

Although my time was slower than 2 years ago I won the 50 - 54 grade by 6 minutes and was 4th overall! Though my calf continues to give me problems I was most satisfied to get through the race winning gold.
