Taming the Cass Lagoon Track in 7.5 hours

Had an absolutely stunning training run over the weekend, 33km in just over seven and a half hours. I might just be ready for the Kepler now...less than three weeks to go. I took a camera around the Cass Lagoon, and having tramped it twice before it was great to travel light and hoon around the mix of trail running, boulder hopping and pass bagging. Magic day, perfect weather, if a little hot at over 30 degrees. Gulp!


A few pics....and hopefully a movie from the Lagoon Saddle showing the panorama around the Main Divide though Mt Rolleston, Avalanche Peak, Arthurs Pass, etc

Who puts a loo in the middle of the main track???

Here's the wee movie flick of the panorama, the nor'wester was picking up so it may be a bit noisy and a little bit shaky
