Wallwork brothers take top spots at tri

 

This year’s Mangawhai Tri turned out to be a real family affair in more ways than one.

The Wallwork family – from Pakuranga in Auck-lands eastern suburbs – have been staunch supporters of the Mangawhai Tri for 10 years or more with up to sev-en or eight family members competing at any one time.

This year again saw them at the forefront of the action in the individual section with Jay Wallwork leading out of the swim and maintaining

his lead throughout to run home first in 55m 44s. His nearest chaser was younger brother Quinn, second over-all and winner of the under 20 section in 57m 35s. Not far away in 8th overall but first in the 40-plus section was their Dad Brett in 1h 00m 48s.

Womans winner was

Aucklander Carmel Tolhurst in a time of 1h 00m 44s again closely followed by sister Erin in 1h 05m 40s. Both are well known in New Zealand water sports circles and maintain fitness through rowing and

surf lifesaving duties over summer.

Hannah Williams and Josh Eagle won the team cat-egory.

The competition attracted over 250 individual entrants, many of whom joined as teams to complete their own specialised discipline, but there is no doubting the pop-ularity of such events which are now attracting a number of school-aged youngsters enjoying their summer break on Mangawhai’s magical coast.
