Wundy Day in Taupo

Competitors at today’s Bonita Ironman New Zealand woke to incredible weather conditions that eventually forced the cancellation of the swim, and halving of the bike and run distances.

It looks like the second loop of the shortened bike was a tad more challenging than the first.

Mark blasted through the run in 1:28 and change, which appears to me to be the fastest split in his age group. He was 91 out of 1200 plus competitors - a very solid day.

As for the two top finishers: Ain Alar Juhanson and Joanna Lawn.
