One of our favourite training loops here in Wellington is around Makara. The round trip from Wellington city takes approximately 1 hour 15 minutes at a good tempo, but rumour has it that Barney reeled off 1 hour flat (start/finish Karori Mall) when he was a full-time athlete between jobs a couple of years ago.
JC is the unofficial record holder for the ascent of Makara Hill in a time of 6 minutes 18 seconds. His climbing strategy is to not let the speedo drop below 18km/h. Ouch.
Christmas eve was a beautiful evening here in Wellington so we headed over to Makara and took a few photos of Joe for a lead in story on his 2011 season. Check out the full photo set on Flickr.
These action shots are amazing. The pan zoom has been great as there are no motion blur.
