The Ironman New Zealand championships returned to Taupō on Saturday for its first full-scale event in three years.
Mike Phillips and Els Visser took out the men's and women's titles.
And it was a special milestone for the twelve-time national champion Cameron Brown, who raced the event for his twenty-fifth and final time as a professional.
At age fifty - yes, fifty! - he finished in seventh place in a time of eight hours and forty-two minutes.
He spoke to Guyon Espiner.
