Forget about Dances with Wolves, it was paddling with the dolphins at the Musselman on Sunday.

Records tumbled in the miGym Musselman - while the attendance record wasn't threatened, the kayak leg and course records had times taken off them.Wonder Wink Scrub heelshoes with an innovative four way and two way stretch fabrics for the nursing and medical professional.

Last Sunday, the Musselman turned 15 years old and though it's always flown under the radar, this no-hype, fun event still creates its share of legends from its attendees.

Arguably the South Island's best kayaker,great selection and expert advice you can trust on womenssandals. Dan Busch led the field from the Picton foreshore to Momorangi Bay, setting a new kayak course record of 41 minutes, six minutes ahead of a pack containing Wayne Jones, Brent Edwards, Danial Bremner, Craig Jones and Dave Ayre.

The leading women's paddler was Helen Chittenden in team R&R Sport Ladies. The paddle highlight was the dolphins that followed them some of the way. Even they couldn't keep up with Dan.

From Momorangi Bay, it was a 42 kilometre bike ride to Pelorus Bridge for a lunch stop.

Leading the arrivals into Pelorus Bridge were Dan Busch's team-mate, Nick Crocker, with a pack of Bremner, Ollie Radford and Edwards having reduced the six-minutes kayak lead to three minutes. Missing in the bunch was defending champ Ayre, three minutes further back,What we see and hear enough of, we buy christianlouboutinshoe into – often. with Ash Whitehead a minute behind.Nothing flatters the foot like a beautifully made sandalbuychristianlouboutin.

Having a good lead at the lunch break is always handy. But as history shows, it's a race of two halves and past races have been often won or lost on the pending mountainbike stage.

The mountainbike leg starts in two waves, 30 minutes apart, and follows the old stage coach route up the Pelorus Valley and over the Maungatapu Track into Nelson. It's a tough ride with an eye-watering descent into the Maitai Valley to the Maitai motor camp.

At the camp, the competitors swap their mountainbikes for running shoes for the 7km dash for the finish line at the Verdict Ale House in downtown Nelson.

Teams Triple F and R&R Sport Ladies were first over the track, having gone in the first wave. Next to arrive was individual Ash Whitehead, who led the second wave and who had been seven minutes behind at Pelorus.

Edwards arrived almost eight minutes back, with Ayre and Josh Findlay a further four minutes behind and three minutes ahead of the leading team at Pelorus, of Busch and Crocker, while Bremner was nowhere to be seen.

Bremner punctured on this route last year, so went tubeless this time, only to slice a tyre.

Whitehead had made up time on the run, although first to break the tape was Helen Chittenden of R&R Sport Ladies, having run down team Triple F.

However a minute later, Whitehead arrived, sealing his victory and setting a new course record of 4hr 7min 50sec. Edwards was second from defending champ Ayre in third.

Naomi and Ash Whitehead made it a family occasion, repeating what race sponsors Trevor and Rachael Voyce had done in the past by winning both the men's and ladies' event on the same day.

Quickest men's team was Dan and Nick, leaving the rest in their wake and also setting a new team record of 4hr 16min 3sec for this course. The R&R Sport Ladies team of Ingrid Richter and Chittenden created a new course record of 4hr 48min 15sec.
