Rotorua Charity Half Ironman

Graham O’Grady had the Rotorua Charity Half Ironman sewn up as soon as he hit the water. The fact he had to complete the course was a miner technicality, he was ahead within the first 100 metres of the swim and it was a lead he wouldn’t relinquish. He dominated the field so much he almost lapped second-placed triathlete Josh Harrison as he circled Tikitapu (Blue Lake) for the final time.
