Dunedin Schools Primary & Intermediate Triathlon Championships

Kate O'Connell —

On Wednesday 28th September, nine students headed to Port Chalmers for the Dunedin Schools Primary & Intermediate Triathlon Championships. This year, we struck gold with the weather, after almost all freezing solid last year, it was nice to see the sun for a change! There were over 40 schools and 500 students participating in this event.

We had three teams of three students competing in the reverse format of Run, Bike & Swim. All students gave it their best for themselves and their teammates. It was difficult to tell any results at the time, (with multiple grades finishing at one time) so we waited until the preliminary results came out last night.
