Mt White Bridge

Mrs KD is training for the Coast to Coast race. I originally entered but after requiring knee surgery and being unable to train, I gifted my entry to her. How good am I?

As part of her training, today she and a fellow athlete are "doing the double". This consists of the 30km mountain run and 70km kayak sections. Between ten and twelve hours of exercise. Guess who got to be the driver? So I was up at 3:30am ferrying people and kayaks up to Arthurs Pass, then waiting around for them to finish the run so I could drop them at the start of the kayak leg. This photo was taken at the kayak start, or "get in" point. With low river flows, they have about six hours of paddling ahead of them.

My turn next year - I hope my support team (i.e. Mrs KD) is as dedicated!
