www.mikedawson.co.nz: TRI Time

A windy wet and cold weekend has been and gone. This was the weekend that the Criags Investment Partners Tinman Triathlon came to town in Mount Manganui! It was an awesome event that consisted of a swim in Pilot Bay, a bike down Marine Parade to Papamoa and finished with a run around the Mount. I raced in the sprint distance, which included a 750m swim, 20km bike and a 5.5 km run. I felt good the whole time, just the muscles that I never used ached especially in the swim. I ended up taking out the 25-29 Category, although a few kids that have barely made it to college killed me.... Here's a few shots

Last weekend was Simon Davidsons 21st birthday on Sunday. The Okere Crew turned out in full force for an awesome paddle down the river followed by a 50+ people doing a tribute "river bootie" of beer. Here's a few shots from Imanol Badiola
