A Heck of a day!

Race day. The Mussel Man - Picton to Nelson. Up at 5:30am to get to the race start. I did the first leg - a kayak paddle on Queen Charlotte Sound (pictured here), from Picton to Momorangi Bay. Mrs KD then took over for a 42km road ride to Pelorus Bridge (much loved picnic site from my youth). Then team member 3 mountain biked over Maungatapu Track and my brother finished with a run into Nelson. I had just enough time to see him finish before taking off to the airport to fly to Rotorua (via Wellington). The flight went over Queen Charlotte Sound, where I'd started the race with my paddle. How cool is that?

Got to be viewed large.
