The event attracted hundreds of spectators and launched the 2010 Challenge Wanaka triathlon festival, which continues with a fun run this evening, a lake swim on Wednesday morning, Triathlon New Zealand's Contact Cup series races on Friday and the long distance races on Saturday.
The winners of each age group have earned the privilege of greeting the winners as they finish on Saturday afternoon.
