It seems it is taking me longer than normal to get the results sorted for loading into the Scorcher Results database – so while I sort out out the missing splits by watching the video footage

So, the first very rough set of results can be found here in pdf format – with the grand finale and all the heat details at this stage

First & Roughest cut of the Triple results can be found here

There are more than likely anomalies and wrong details in here – so give us until end of Monday to sort out. But do feel free to email any errors you notice in the results. Hopefully by tonight once I load to the database the majority of the issues should have been resolved

Well done all & special thanks also to the crew and volunteers for making everything happen behind the scenes yesterday.

What golden Scorcher Day – Mum thanks everyone for attending her birthday party, and thanks you all for behaving well on course today

Please find below links to the provisional results from the Wellington Half / Scorching Triathlon held on Sunday 24th January 2016:

Well done all & special thanks also to the crew and volunteers for making everything happen behind the scenes yesterday.

So that was the 100th Scorcher – and the first Long Distance Triathlon in Wellington in 24 years….

Thus a big congrats to all who raced, volunteered, helped, supported and just generally where involved somehow

Please find below links to the provisional results from the Wellington Half / Scorching Triathlon held on Sunday 24th January 2016:

Well done all & special thanks also to the crew and volunteers for making everything happen behind the scenes yesterday.

As the run course for the Long Course at the Scorcher 100th event and the Wellington Half is located on private property it means there are limited options to access the full course for practice runs prior to the event day.

Therefore we have sought special permissions to gain access to this land on two additional days to offer you a practice run prior to event day. This is only available to those who have already entered into the Wellington Half or the Scorcher Long Course for Jan 24th .  And is limited to a small number of runners.

The test group runs will occur on Saturday Dec 26th and January 9th (4 weeks and 2 weeks out).

Please note that you should consider these two opportunities a recon action and familiarisation run, not a race.  We will be doing this course together in a group, re-grouping at various points.

The key area that we only have access for is from Shelly Bay up to Mt Crawford Prison for a limited time period only each time – please respect the landowners rights and stay out of this area otherwise! Thank you.

If you want to come on these recon group runs, you must:

1. Be registered in advance for the Wellington Half or the Scorcher Long course to be held on Jan 24th
2. Email the Angels (angel@scorching.co.nz) and request to be added to the group run list (both dates are limited in numbers)
3. You then will need to report to Scorching Bay on the morning of your group run for 9:30am to sign in and be assigned to groups and hear the briefing

We will do one lap of the run course together, regrouping at various points around the course before continuing. We should be finished the lap by 11:30am.

And if you want to see images from the run course? — Check out our latest facebook album we posted last night
