A huge mihi to all athletes who competed in IronMāori 2019. To our individuals – Nathan Milner, Matewai Tukapua, Adam Tapsell, Anthea Williams, Daniel White, and Aperahama Hurihanganui. Our whānau teams: Rangitaiki Ruffians, Speed Dealers and Fiyah. Our support crew who got us to the finish line. Special mihi to Nathan “Iron” Milner for 1st in the Mens Solo Swim (in his 11th IronMāori), to the Speed Dealers for 2nd place in the Mixed Team and Adam Tapsell for 1st place in his own bike leg event of 110km! Thanks to Heather and Wayne for another massive event which is less about times and placings and more about whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and āroha. See you all next year! Mauri Ora! #IronMāori
