I arrived in Wellington yesterday, and at parkrun I discovered Round the Bays is on on the next day (now today). So I signed up for my first ever international race, with zero prep. It starts in 90 minutes. What could go wrong? :p

Haha that's mad! What distance did you do?

Only 8.5km. I left that bit out deliberately :P

It'll be a great run or a great story!

Turns out it was a great run and a great story! :)

You can't just leave us without the story!

Hearing about the event the day before, and signing up for it with no prep and doing well on my first international event is the story :)
