2012 Motatapu Xterra Off Road Triathlon 10th March 2012

A video slide show of some images from me in the event - one small error the date I have in the first few slides says 2011 it is actually 2012!!

A great race, this was the first time I had competed in this event, it is quite nice going into an event with no ideas of how it will be. The Race Started with a 2km Swim in Glendhu Bay Wanaka, Followed by a 47km MTB Through the Motatapu Valley to Arrowtown and then a 15km Run around the Hills above Arrowtown. I had an OK Swim, struggled a bit towards the end due to minimal swim training recently but still came out ok, great bike ride and then onto the touight and hilly 15km Miners Trail run around the hills above Arrowtown! All up 5hrs35min and finished 23rd Open Man and 36th overall from 108 Starters. Check out www.iconicadventures.co.nz for details of the events they hold.

L-R 2nd Adam keen, 1st Tim Johnston, 3rd Andrew Sloan
A great two days of Racing over the Central Otago Rail Trail. I had a good two days of racing and enjoyed the bike stages on the new 2012 Giant XTC 0 29er from R&R Sport - A real speed weapon on this terrain. All up a solid two days of racing I placed 3rd in the Open Mens Individual with a total time of 7hrs and 9min.
