After ‘wintering’ in the UK Anna Frost is now back home in New Zealand. Kiwi Anna is looking forward to another successful year in Europe on the Grand Prix and Skyrunning circuit, with a big goal at the World Mtn Running Champs in September…

Before all of that Anna is taking come time out with her family, racing locally this last weekend at the Dunedin ‘King of the Mountain’ race. The 15km race was a stepping stone for Frost who now goes on to the NZ championships next Saturday.

“The race was super hot and dusty” said Frosty after yesterday’s race. “It was 6km up on a steep forest trail and 9km down on a winding trail. I finished 4th over all in a time of 1.02.40. I ran hard to the top and tried to hold back a bit on the down as I have national mt champs next Sat, 7km up a forest trail on a mountain called MT. Campbell.”

“Since arriving in New Zealand I have not been feeling too great, my legs feel a little tired and I’m not not springy on the hills but it’s awesome to be running with familiar faces in lovely places, and I very much looking forward to next week’s race!”, she concluded.
