Lap the Lake  (6 hour race)

16/4/2017

Driving the last few kilometres before arriving at the race start, the nausea began.

The last race I went to, my boyfriend drove and I was passenger.  I get travel sick, and blamed the winding, country roads for my nausea.  On Saturday April 1st, I was designated driver on the way to Mavora Lakes for 'Lap the Lake'.  

Clearly this is not related to driving!

As with all the races I've recently taken part in, which is not many, the setting was spectacular . The first half of each lap followed a gravel road meandering down the centre of a wide, sweeping valley between lush, green mountains.  After about 5km it turned right onto a foot path, passed a 'halfway' checkpoint and crossed the first swing bridge to the other side of the lake. From there, the trail became thin, undulating and pretty technical. The majority of the second half is inside the forest and pops out a couple of times into fields of waist-high grass.  At the very end of the lap you cross another swing bridge before entering the main check point/start/finish area ready to go again!
