KENT HORNER - SA Triathlete

We came up with this event after I had raced a similar event in Scotland a few years back. The Scotland adventure tri series was a swim, a mountain bike and a trail run, starting with the swim in the morning and ending with the run in the evening. This race was nothing like an endurance event - it was in fact a full-out sprint for each event which made it that much more difficult. Different athletes took the leaders yellow number through the day, and the winner of the run was not necessarily the winner at the end of the day. The Anchor Challenge will attract your single discipline specialist athletes into joining forces with other specialist athletes to make teams, therefore encouraging athletes from all areas of sports and not just your normal multi-sport athlete doing all the events.
