4.30 up and 7.10 off … 4hrs 45 later I crossed the line at Laguna!!! Yey! Enjoyed the swim, survived the hills and then came the run! Felt like time had just stopped and 12k was going to be a looooooong way. That said, what a fantastic event, beautiful course and super friendly people! Share [...]

Mad Dogs & English (Scottish, Italian, Dutch, Danish)women and men play volleyball in the midday sun
