Only our second day here and already Dillan's trying to get me back into silly triathlon type things! The 'Stroke and Stride' series is apparently New Zealand's most popular swim/run race series (which begs the question how many nutters are there in this tiny country of around four million people who actually enjoy this sort of thing!) You can read all about it here.
Dillan's doing really quite well, having got points in all the races so far this season and is in the top ten in his age group, so could be in with a chance of getting a top five placing. This race was a 500m swim followed by a 5km run, and was Dillan's last race before his Ironman down in Taupo on 1st March.
Dillan had a really good race- despite getting swum over in the melee at the start (a hazard of mass-start swims) he had his best 5km run ever and his best overall time of the series. Nat and I in the meantime sat on the beach and cheered him on while enjoing the evening sunshine :-)
