Christchurch SBS Marathon, Half Marathon and 10k Run
Today was my final day of work at Oyster Bay. Just like running a race, it feels great to finish. Now it is time to begin the Holiday part of my Working Holiday Visa. I have the next two days to pack, sell my bicycle and arrange the rest of my travel plans.
Saturday morning Andries, Gabby, Christian and I begin our 9 day roadtrip. It is going to be a fast and furious roadtrip of the South Island. Highlights include a quick stop in Dunedin for a brewery tour of Speight's, a visit to Central Otaga for some winetasting, skiing or some other adrenaline activity in Queenstown, hiking in Milford Sounds, and a tour of Fox Glaciers.
Last weekend I had a three day weekend thanks to the Queen's birthday. Saturday morning Andries, Chris, Matthew and I headed to Christchurch for the weekend. Along the way we stopped at a couple wineries and did some winetasting. Saturday night Andries, Chris and I attended the Rugby final--Crusaders vs. Wartahs. It was fun to see, but I am still a hockey fan! Check out the video clips I posted.
On Sunday Andries and I ran in the SBS Race (pictures above). I ran a half marathon and he ran a 10k. Overall, I did pretty good considering I haven't been able to train with my crazy work schedule. Now I am back on track and have officially started my training for this year's Chicago Marathon.
I drove for the first time in over 3 months! Not to mention on the other side of the road. It was awesome!!! I have received two thumbs up from Andries and am allowed to be the relief driver for our roadtrip. Stay tuned for more pictures...
