The World champion and Olympic medal winning kayaker Ben Fouhy has qualified for October's Ironman World Championship in Hawaii.
Fouhy finished ninth in the 30-34 year age group to earn one of the the qualifying spots from his age group having decided to take a year off kayaking.
Thirty-five slots were taken up by New Zealanders including Commonwealth Games marathon runner Craig Kirkwood who won the 35-39 years age group.
Kumeu's Tiare Lund, a multi-world championship medallist, will be heading back to the world championships for the 17th time after winning the women's 60-64 years age group.
