TeamCPNZ are back to our Whaka 100 2026 podcast series.This episode is a good one.
Richard sits down with Andrew Robinson from Tough Yarns and Allegra Battiato to talk about their Whaka100 MTB Marathon® adventure, and it’s a story with a twist.
Last year, Allegra was entered in the Whaka 50. Then, two days out from race day, Andrew , one of the event Ambassadors, talked her into moving up to the 100km.
No hesitation, no easing in. Just: go big. Tough Yarns is built on doing hard things and having honest conversations about them, and that’s exactly what this episode is. We get into the decision, the doubt, the training that wasn’t quite there, and what it actually took to get Allegra from the start line to the finish of one of the toughest days on two wheels.
If you’ve ever had someone talk you into something bigger than you planned for, you’ll want to hear this one.
