thanks Sarah 🇨🇦

Friday departure, Sunday a.m. touchdown. Kia ora. Welcome aboard.

Weekend half-absorbed over the Pacific. Denver-to-LA flight canceled, so had to think fast/shell out $$$ to same-day arrive & catch my Air Zealand connection. Yikes!

Auckland uber pickup, destination: Quest Newmarket Hotel. Check-in & my first Triple 8 meetup in the hotel lobby — Mika from Finland! Will formally meet ALL tomorrow.

FREE day first day. Sleep, don’t sleep… or – go for a run 🙂

Goal to NZ acclimate as soon as possible. No marathoning ‘til Tuesday.

Easy. Run route googl’d: Auckland Domain (short mile away)

War Memorial Museum. Wintergarden. HIGH HUMIDITY, ducks/swans & Cricket.

Fancy eats & early zzz’s post-run. 10-hour coma in my first night future. LOL>

I’m HERE. New Zealand!
