Our high-performance copy and content team just conquered the Integrity Homes Challenge Wanaka Triathlon over the weekend, proving that sharp storytelling skills can translate to serious endurance!
Benjamin Lott got things off to a flying start in the kayak—because, well, he’s always in a hurry. He powered through the course, securing a solid 2-minute lead before handing over to Duncan Stewart. As our trusted Ops guy, Duncan did what he does best: took control, tightened the gap, and added another minute to the team’s advantage.
With momentum on our side, the baton went to Malcolm Jennings, a builder who knows how to deliver under pressure. True to form, he put the hammer down—literally—and nailed the run, cementing our victory with a final time of 4 hours and 25 minutes. The BOW team won by a 2.5-minute margin, a strong performance that deserved celebration.
However, it was the runner-up squad that grabbed the headlines with their audacious team name: Destroy Ben, Duncan, and Malcolm! Competitive spirit at its finest. (They must have heard something else about our team's adventurous spirit and derring-do.)
The event was brilliantly captured by content shooter Lennon Bright, whose stunning photos perfectly reflect the grit, determination, and triumph of race day.
