Yes, I'm sure the weather played a part forcing some to skip checkpoints and take extra time.
Our dash to Lake Brunner and back on the final morning had us skipping out the rear tyre a few times.
There were rocks the size of cricket balls on the road near Porters pass at 6.00am - that kept us awake through the driving rain and crazy wind.
... but we'll be back for more again next year.
