Taupo Half Ironman December 2004
I completed my first Half Ironman at Taupo on Saturday 18th. December After having a good swim and coming out of the water first I managed to increase my lead after the bike then increasing this a little more after the 1st lap of the run, and although Kieran had an amazing 2nd lap I maintained a good lead to finish in a new course record of 3.57.03
Taupo is a great place to race and Hooksie Knows how to put it on for the all of us.
