Hi. My name is Jamie Hawker and I was introduced to GurneyGoo from my wife who suggested it would be good for me to use in my upcoming Great Naseby Water Race. My last 100k race was 40 yrs ago for me,so you can imagine the very different available accessories to help runners back then to now.
With all the wet weather that Naseby provided for us on that August weekend GurneyGoo did its job magnificently as I not only completed 100k in 13hrs 53 mins but I had no chaffing where one would expect to get chaffing and my recovery was quicker for having used GurneyGoo. This was a good thing as I had signed up to run the Athletics NZ 24 hr race at AUT Millenium Stadium last weekend and needed to get back training on some longer runs as it was my 1st 24 hr race/walk.
Fast forward to now and I can say that I am very happy that I again used GurneyGoo for this entire race. Especially as other competitors started to slow during the night this product enabled me to have no chaffing/soreness issues and keep my pace consistent and push on to complete my fastest 100k time, my first 100 miler and to complete 193.9k and sneak into 2nd place overall in the last hour of racing.
Thanks for a wonderful product. From a firm believer.
Jamie Hawker 57 yrs old from ChCh.
