The day was defined by two clear beats: passing the 200 km mark of the trail, and a steady drizzle between 08:00 and 16:00. André set out and completed 15.9 km, reaching camp at 15:03; the longest pause on the way was 23 minutes.
The ground was rolling for about 8 km, then turned hilly for about 7 km, shaping the day's rhythm and pacing without changing the simple plan to keep moving toward Kerikeri.
They ended the day near Kerikeri, 218 km into a 3,048 km trail; the next stretch will carry on from Mangakaretu to Kerikeri and beyond toward Waitangi.
