Run the Hillary Trail

23 January 2010 - I ran the 67km Hillary Trail in 11 hours 03 minutes.
The Hillary Trail travels through the Waitakere Ranges, near Auckland, New Zealand. Running it all in one hit was an amazing experience; very hard, but awesome and unforgettable. More info at http://feetsofstrength.tumblr.com

@ep0nymous Mate it just seemed like a good idea. Shaun Collins and Gus Grey beat me to be first to run HT, so naturally I just wanted to do it faster than them :). It was a hard, awesome experience

Nuts, thought it would be hard to walk it in two days

@k1w1shooter - a heavy tramping pack would turn it into an overnighter
