Nurse runs across New Zealand, smashing Te Araroa trail record
Highlights of the trek have come from small everyday moments and having family, friends and strangers to share the journey with along the way, Thomas said. Her body had held up fairly well but Thomas said her goal was to not wreck herself and enjoy it. Thomas's mum Robynne Thomas, who had been with her the whole way, said in the North Island her daughter averaged 45km a day. During the South Island stint it was 60km a day. It had been special to spend that time with her daughter, Robynne said. Supplied Brooke Thomas, a Queenstown-based nurse and former competitive rower.
