Multisport in NZ

Did my first half ironman in New Zealand, on roughly the same course as the full ironman in less than 10 weeks. Triathlon is really taking off in this country, as they have some excellent elite-level capability around.

Here's the skinny ...

Swim 2k (w/ trans): ~34
Bike 90k: 2.27
Run 21k (w/ trans): 1.31
Total: 4.33 (16th overall, 2nd Canadian, 2nd CBDer)

Few minutes slower than Shepp, but longer swim, longer transition and tougher course, so I'm quite happy with the result. Most of all, I like the course! Very wet day. Brother J had a very solid performance, coming in easily under the 5 hour barrier. The training is paying off.

Full race report and a whole wack of pictures of NZ once I get back to Melbourne (tomorrow).
