Tawharanui Coastal Challenge, 2015

Here are a few pics from the first Tawharanui Coastal Challenge, May 2015.It was an awesome event in a fantastic location.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it back in 2016 but I am definitely keen to run it again.I entered the half-marathon run, a 23km course around the coast with plenty of "water interaction" as promised!You can view the event info here:http://www.coastalchallengeseries.co.nz/tawharanui/[gallery type="square" size="large" ids="252,264,276,308"] This detail from Runkeeper shows my progress around the course as well as total elevation (688m)
