The New Zealand team of Reid, Ainsley Thorpe, Nicole Van Der Kaay and Hayden Wilde clocked 1 hour 20 minutes 46 seconds to be just three seconds behind third-placed Australiain the race won by France (1:20.18) from Germany (1:20.22).
Reid was the fastest of the Kiwi crew, completing his 300-metre swim, 6.6-kilometre cycle and 1km run leg in 18 minutes 54 seconds — a time bettered by only three other athletes.
