Well, we’re home, having arrived late last night (in bed by 3 AM!) and headed back to work today. First question my colleague Chris asked?

So what’s next?

Before we go to that question, I’ve got some highlights from our post-race recovery loop around the island. - Whitewater rafting on the Rangitata river

- Seeing penguins in Omaru

-Running up the steepest street in the world in Dunedin- in our long johns.

- Enjoying Milford Sound’s rain-activated waterfalls on a misty morning cruise

- Paragliding in Queenstown

- Hiking 17k up the Copland Track to a hot spring, camping the night, and hiking down the next day

- Running back up the Copland Track (34k round trip) later that evening to pick up some stuff we left behind

- Visiting friends, big caves, and pure springs  in Golden Bay

- Seeing dolphins, Swimming and Kayaking in Queen Charlotte Sound

- Hunting wild boar with some other Coast-to-Coasters in Marlborough (click the link to read Bryan’s take)

Some post race news:

- Due to the disqualification of another contender, I have been moved up to 12th in the final final results of the race.

- Multisport Magazine ran a nice little Q and A article in their March issue about training in Canada for the Coast to Coast
