A competitor in the Peak to Powderkeg race last Wednesday finishes the ski and searches for his shoes, ready for the run down to the 1 2 kilometre mark on the Ohakune Mountain Road. It's been the season of the Ruapehu multi-sports lately, with Whakapapa's 'Slide, Stride and Ride1 recently plus the Peak to Powderkeg. Entries in the Powderkeg race were down a little after the event had to be post poned from Monday due to bad weather. Local triathlon enthusiast and Turoa maintenance crewman Chris Thrupp breezed home for first place. He finished ninth on the ski, caught up to second place on the run and cruised to the lead early on in the cycle, giving himself plenty of time for the finishing beer at the 'Keg.
