Adrenaline is pumping since the early morning in a spectacular town of Wanaka. Low clouds and light rain creates heavy and mystical atmosphere for the beginning of a race. Yes, the Challenge Wanaka is happening again. Iron athletes are getting ready for a swim and 400 volunteers are looking after them. Many spectators and supporters are shivering on the lake bank and waiting for the horn to start the "madness" - 8:37:41 minutes of hard physical and mental challenge to win (well done Chris!!!, beating the record and setting new borders for next year), to complete, to be there .... Everyone is cheered for, everyone is supported.
