A pearler of a day for wandering around hills in Wellington. But despite the kind weather, we had a low turnout (36), probably due to the slew of attractions in the area this weekend: Levin Double Dippers, a walkers half marathon, Battle Hill cross country, the Crazyman, a marathon clinic breakfast.

The fastest triple peaker was Richard Sweetman, who competed in the inaugural duathlon version of the event: he biked between on the roads and ran the trails up hills. The fastest conventional competitor was Peter Wrigley (who warmed up on the 17k Double Dipper on Saturday) in 2:47, followed a couple of minutes later by Dave Colquhoun and Richard Brent. Peter Baillie walked all three peaks in a very creditable 3:38. It's interesting to see the ways in which different people tackled the peaks. Another mystery is how Howard and Neville got down so fast from Polhill to the clubhouse.

Without wanting to get too precious about what is essentially just a long Sunday run/walk, we should point out that the beginning and end are at the clubhouse. To "finish" you have to report in. It is also a safety measure.

Damian Porter reached the second of his two peaks and then stopped. Ian Murray hit Mt Vic and the Polhill and returned in 1:28. Brenda Burke did one peak (Kaukau) in 2:35.

Thanks to the timekeepers (Phil Valentine - Mt Vic carpark, Api Williams - Mt Kaukau, Mary Lynch and Emma Brooks - beside the windmill on Polhill, and Harry Doig - homebase) and to Keren Dravitzki for the date scones, jam and cream. The results were constructed by Harry Doig (and are now fixed!).

The next peak experience is on 22 June with the target peaks, Makara (back end of Karori), the old fave Polhill again and Tinakori Hill. See you there.
