Volcanoes : Mt. Mangere (15.84km)

A sunny afternoon, big hill climb up the mountain and wall around the 13km mark.

Time was 1:27:32 (slow pace of 5:31 min/km).

Hit a bit of a wall around 12km mark and everything slowed down. Hadn't had much to eat the day before so perhaps that was it. Crap.

Lots of people fishing from the bridge. The mountain itself has only a rough track up to two different trig points. Its a bit rough and the footing unstable so took care up there.

Next week will see me start on a proper training program for the Run Auckland Series.



Here is the route:
