Sally CurrieAs temperatures rise, waters warm, and the sun shines, outdoor enthusiasts in the Upper Clutha will have yet another opportunity to enjoy their own backyard as part of Wanaka’s first triathlon club. TriWanaka, as it is known, plans to create a central hub for the sport that had not existed in the town before. Media manager Sally Currie said the idea of the club came after she met with the Hawke’s Bay Triathlon Club at the beginning of the year, and was inspired by what it does. When she returned home, she started to form the concept with now club president Kelly Good and organised the club’s first meeting around three months ago. The club would provide a place for people to train for Challenge Wanaka as well as youths keen to pursue the sport.
