It was a great day for triathlon in Auckland on Sunday. The streets of Auckland were awash with things tri. There must have been at least $5 million of bikes on the docks overnight on Saturday. The wind did ease for the early-starters but picked up by the time my wave got away. Always the case, make it harder for the oldies! And what a quality field. I doubt if there has ever been such a high quality age-group field as that for the both the mens’ and womens’ Olympic distances. The first 170 in the men all under 2:20 on a hilly course. Congratulations to all involved and well done to those who qualified. Second chance at Kinloch and Wellington next year for those who didn’t.
I tried to take some photographs as I had been inspired by the current ITU Best Photo competition. The current leader in this contest is this one below (copied without permission-sorry ITU). The voting can be done here
My pathetic attempts can be summarised below. No comments please, it is not easy!
Too soon!
Too late!
There she goes!
