Well I got underway with the 3+2+1=Charity at the IronMaori Half Ironman in Napier in the weekend. The enclosed photo isn’t the flashest of me, due to putting on a cheeky pose for the NZ Police, but I thought I’d put it out there for a laugh. It was taken at the start of the swim as we were waiting to be released in waves of 25. I was at the back supporting friends doing their first event. I had a swim wetsuit on, unlike the tough guy behind me.
