Good to see you can still smile after spending the best part of an hour and a half swimming, biking and running around Macandrew Bay early on a Sunday morning but that is what the Moana Pool Bloke Free Triathlon series is all about - participating and having fun.
A good sized field were up bright and early for the 8am start on a beautifully fine, sunny and calm day where they prepared for the challenge of either a triathlon course (swim 300m / bike 15km / run 4km), a duathlon course (bike 15km / run 4km), or a "no knees" option of a 300m s wim and 15km bike ride.
