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.

Barb Frost’s Testimonial for Coach Ray
Ray asked me to write a testimonial for him and my first thought was “absolutely”!
My name is Barb Frost. I am currently 46 years old and have been a runner for over ten years. Last year (2015) I decided to compete in my first half marathon for which I did my own training and subsequently entered the Queenstown NZ full marathon held on 21 November 2015.
