ACHIEVING WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS IMPOSSIBLE….
And that’s a wrap… One NZ GODZONE Chapter 11 Fiordland.
If this mighty adventure has still not quite sunken in, here it is all wrapped up.
Fiordland, the playground for tough people.
Each stage offering its own challenges and reprieve - providing the legs with some rest or putting the brain into overdrive; packraft or hike?
Sometimes a case of simply rolling the dice….
But however Chapter 11 turned out for you or a team you were following, there is one certainly that rings true with everyone - the human body is an incredible machine, and is amplified ten fold when it works in a team.

THANK YOU …
To everyone who was part of One NZ GODZONE Chapter 11 Fiordland.
Support crews, teams, family members, friends, volunteers, sponsors, all the wonderful communities and towns we passed through or dropped into - thank you.
Fiordland, Southland, it’s a very special part of New Zealand and loved by kiwis and folk around the world.
As we all take time to absorb the past few days we will create our own memories, battle stories, funny times and perhaps some moments we’d maybe rather erase.
Nevertheless, it will be your unique week to remember, exploring areas in the deepest of the South Island that most will never get to. That’s pretty special.
Many photos are on the website, link below or head to the home page and look under Photos tab.

YEAH IT WAS FUN, WASN’T IT?
One NZ GODZONE is one tough race, and that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be. But when the finish line is in sight, a smile can sometimes burst out.
There are plenty more splendid photos on Flickr, the link is on the website.

A DUSKY DETERMINATION
As the evening settles in, the Oreti River is still busy with paddlers. It’s been a good day, and it’s not over yet.

ROCK AND……..
No matter how much you plan and train, some things just happen. Plan Bs and improvisation, that’s adventure racing. Well done Further Faster Vertigoats, proving there’s not much that a bit of duct tape won’t fix.

THE LAST WET SOCK SITUATION
Once the bikes are dumped at TA11, it’s just one final 15km trek down Oreti Beach to complete Stage 12, leading to the finish line - day n’ night.

WHEN THINGS DON’T ALWAYS GO TO PLAN
French team Argo Nantes Adventures thoroughly enjoyed Chapter 11 Fiordland, but unfortunately due to entering an out of bounds area earlier on in the race, they had to wait-out a six hour time penalty at TA10, the end of Stage 10 kayak. But the positives were reaped. That’s adventure racing.
