yesterday was an early start - a 6:30am flight out of Canberra with a 9:40am flight out of Sydney...
I have to say Air NZ's safety video is hilarious...in keeping with that, we watched Bridesmaids again!
our flight out of Auckland to New Plymouth was on time at 4:30pm...
we are staying at the race headquarters so it will be easy to (a) get the race packet on Saturday arvo and (b) catch the bus to the start at 6:15am on Sunday...
after settling in, we attempted three caches, finding two...
today I got up earlyish to go for my last pre-marathon run, an easy 40mins...it was very windy so I had a headwind on the way out and a tailwind to finish...

after breakfast, we drove the course so I could see what it was going to be like then we spent the rest of the day caching!
mum and dad arrived in Auckland this afternoon...they are visiting my cousin (who lives here, married to a Kiwi, and gave birth earlier in the year) and my mum's brother and his wife who are also over visiting...they'll be driving to New Plymouth tomorrow...

Oh so close now! Do hope you have a great experience for your first marathon, run well and enjoy every minute:) You've done the training, now reap the rewards!
Have a great run tomorrow - you'll smash it!
Have a good one Bron. Hope the weather's kinder than it is here. Feel like I'm living in the land of the long grey cloud today.
