For some very keen Tomarata school students, Sunday 20th March was a very busy day. The Sanitarium Weetbix Triathlon has been a very popular sporting event for over 10 years and still going strong, testing the abilities of kiwi kids all over new Zealand. Around 2,200 children aged 7-15 competed in the event, with official photographers there for every shot, and the famous weetbix guy supporting the runners as they neared the finish chute. Celebrities such as Hamish Carter, Jo Lawn and Maddy Dillon cheered on the enthusiastic triathletes. Competitors stepped up to the challenge as they swum 200m, biked 8.km and ran 1.5km. Some confident teens have been doing the tryathlon ever since they were seven! Overall this was a great memory for everyone who competed, and we will hopefully see more smiling faces next year.
Well done - you have completed a tough challenge, and you had to get up very early in the morning!
