My journey for this event started shortly after I completed the Motatapu Off-trail Marathon back on 5 March 2016. Looking for a new challenge I asked Coach Ray for a few suggestions. He came up with this one. I did a bit of research on it and asked him if he thought I could do it and you all know his answer was absolute! (At this point it was about 5.5 months away – plenty of time for training). So less than a fortnight after the Motatapu I had registered for the 100km event which was one of five events possible to enter. The others are 50km, 60km (a team event), 80km, 100km, and 160km.
