Apparently there is talk of moving the road champs away from Wainuiomata to another location. It's all unofficial but the Centre is eying up the possibility if using the industrial roads around the old GM plant in Trentham, This is where the road walking champs are held.
It's early days and of course nothing may come of it but based on yesterday's event it is evident that the narrow course is not suited to large fields, and with tight turnarounds is not conducive to fast times. Not to mention that the location is hard to get and can be a grim place on a typical Wellington day in winter.
Just a word of warning about the photos. Google blogs, Facebook and similar social media applications compress the crap out of high-resolution images. This means that when you look at these images they are basically low-resolution. My original high-res images are kept as archives.
John Earles tries to keep his balance on the tricky turnaround at the bottom of the course. |
