There was not much between this group of year 4 athletes when they exited the water.
The bike leg did not seem to tire Oscar Cleugh-Gibb (8), of Wanaka Primary School
It was a close affair between Wanaka Primary School pair Flynn Robinson (7, left) and Zack Wilson (8, right).
Scores of parents lined the streets of Wanaka yesterday to cheer on their children taking on the Puzzling World Junior Challenge triathlon.
Clear blue skies and light winds greeted the 1000-plus primary school children from around the Upper Clutha region who took part.
Years 1-3 pupils participated in a bike and run duathlon, while the years 4-6 pupils competed in a full triathlon.
Competitors came from Wanaka Primary School, Holy Family Catholic School and Hawea Flat School.
