Triple 8 PASTA 🍝

SLEEP… does a body good.

Series of 2-3 hour naps (9 hours total) but got the job done.

Bip back in my step. Today’s the day – day we become ‘the SIX’. And tomorrow… our Triple 8 adventure begins. 8 marathons, 8 continents, 8 days. YES!

Brendan, Mika, myself. Nicole, Mike, Que. Three attempting 13.1 miles; three of us 26.2 our goal distance. EVERY day, 8 days. Run, shower, eat, sleep. Airport check-in. New hotel. Repeat. C-R-A-Z-Y. Roller coaster ride almost here, but first… Lovers Walk.

Pre-dawn, pre-breakfast, weather to savour. Pre-high summer sun. Lots of tropic.

Giant ferns, palms & GREEN. It’s January! Southern Hemisphere SUMMER 🌞

Short loop ‘round Auckland Domain. BIG hill canopied by everything New Zealand. So much green… so much HUMIDITY. Freshman 15 sweat fest. LOL>

ASB Tennis Arena. Auckland Bowling Club. Nothing but SMILE.

Triple 8 activities, afternoon & evening. NZ Race Director meet-n-greet. Pasta dinner with ‘the Six’ @ Archie’s . All for real in 10 hours. Who’s sleeping now?

Tick, tick, tick. Close your eyes, K-Star. Triple 8 Quest tomorrow!
