three starters of the Spring Challenge.

Today I spent the day up in the mountains as part of a support crew for my daughter and team. They were taking part in the Spring Challenge which is a challenge for women only- a cross country run,a raft on the Rakaia River, a 17 km cycle, and a 5km cross country orienteering test. They started about 11am and finished at 6pm. I admire her so much- she is definitely not a gym bunny, has a full time job as a midwife, and two under 3yrs old.....she does not have much spare time. She really enjoyed her day apart from being totally exhausted, but so proud of herself for finishing. This picture shows her team still in high spirits just after the cycle ride. My daughter is on the left. We had a lovely day just relaxing in the sun between stages.
