pieman 1,186 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 http://www.triseries.kiwi/ Olympic distance, $80 early bird including some of NZ major cities. I don't know about other states but the QTS series in QLD may be similar price but for sprint and or mini sprint distances... No insurance in NZ? They (we) are just harder? Thoughts?

bunny 51 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 NZ have a great culture of sporting events and social racing - there are more tri's, swims and runs than you could think of fitting in - even for the hard core They are much more laid back and likely the insurance has a lot to do with it - without everyone's fingers in the pie and all the bureaucracy it makes life easy - they have a different hospital/insurance scheme than here Over here try and put on an event or swim and the different agencies all wanting permits, insurances etc etc just make it all too hard Maybe more people will move over there ha ha - that would be funny Link to post Share on other sites

trifun 446 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Different insurance profile in NZ because of different liability laws, part of a package a few years back that included free A& E services for all - I believe. (a few dead adventure tourists to prove it.....) Link to post Share on other sites
