Training Log Archive: shanel

Planned to get some work done at home after watching the kids for the morning, but decided to try putting some cream on my ankle and by the time Belinda got home my ankle was weepy and skanky so didn't get anything done.

Back at work today, ankle still sore so no training in the morning, and still carrying some NZ time so got to work by 6:30.

Travel day, early start to drive from Hamner back to Christchurch and drop off the van and leave Ann, Wil and Andre to their own devices. Then fly home, good view of Hamner Springs and Mt Isobel from the plane, pity I couldn't get a photo.

Finally made it to a hot spring starting with a natural one next to the river. Got completely mauled by sand flies and all of a sudden a week later my back is covered with bites. Swollen/massacred ankle couldn't stand the hot water so was stuck out in the air.

Back to Hamner for the WARA NZ mini golf challenge, went down to tRicky the former golf fanatic by one shot.

Made it to the commercial hot springs after dinner for a quick dip before closing time.

Got to Hamner Springs and at the slightest suggestion from Fully Sikma everyone said "yeah lets go climb a mountain" so we headed up Mt Isobel rather than relaxing in a hot spring.
