She's kept her powder dry for most of the summer but Hawke's Bay
surf lifesaver Nikki Cox managed to fire shots when it counted at
the Eastern Regional championships over the weekend.
The New Zealand team member won a competitive women's board race
yesterday and finished second in the ski race, before comfortably
winning the open ironwoman race today.
Cox (Westshore) beat Mairangi Bay's Madison Boon and rising
Papamoa star Natalie Peat in flat Mount Maunganui conditions,
despite a sparse racing schedule leading into the carnival.
"It was comforting and reassuring to know that all the work I've
been doing is paying off," Cox said. "I have been doing a lot
behind the scenes but I just haven't had that many races this
season. This is a different season to any other one I've had
because I played hockey in the offseason and had a complete break
from surf. It's been quite refreshing to come back into it
now after it wasn't my main focus over winter."
Cox also won the double ski with Westshore clubmate Larissa
Cowlrick.
Red Beach's Australian-based ironman Chris Moors completed a
dream carnival by winning the feature men's race, after winning the
board and surf races yesterday.
After holding off the final-leg surges of Midway pair Mike Janes
and Cory Taylor in the ironman, Moors then anchored the Red Beach
taplin team to a solid win over Mairangi Bay and Mount
Maunganui.
Mount Maunganui took the first two spots in the open women's
taplin, while Chanel Hickman (Mairangi Bay) completed the beach
sprint and flags double.
Papamoa teenager Kodi Harman continued his outstanding sprinting
form by winning both the under-19 and open beach sprint, then
bringing home the Papamoa beach relay team to an upset open
victory.
Mount Maunganui's overall dominance was reflected in the club
points tally, collecting 136, with Papamoa second on 79. Auckland
clubs filled ou the top-five, with Mairangi Bay (66), Red Beach
(62) and Piha (48).
Piha was helped by a classy surf boat display, filling the top
two postions in both the open men's and under-23 men's divisions,
plus the under-21 women, while national champions Mairangi Bay won
the open women's long course section.
