Coast 2 Coast

I had wanted to do coast to coast for many years but always found excuses not to do it. In April 2008 I decided I was definitely going to give it a try. I embarked on my kayaking course to get the grade 2 certificate that was required to enter. Kayaking down rapids was way out of my comfort zone but I kept telling myself other people do it and survive. So by Sept I had my certificate and I was a kayaker!! So then lots of kayaking , cycling and running training. It needed discipline and determination but the hard work was rewarded by feeling good, people telling me how good I looked and best was that inner feeling of satisfaction.

The event itself took me into some of NZs most beautiful scenery, it had me mixing with like minded, lovely peple and it pushed me harder than I have pushed before. The end result – my partner and I came third in the over 40’s. I can’t tell you what a buzz that was . I will always remember my coast to coast experience.
