Graham O’Grady and Jo Lawn claimed honors in the Port of Tauranga half triathlon in New Zealand, an event that doubled as the national long distance championship.
O’Grady, who has plied his trade over the Olympic distance based in the United States for several years, led for most of the journey to claim the biggest title of his career, while evergreen Auckland triathlete Jo Lawn came from behind to win her third women’s crown.
