Event Delivery
The 2009/2010 CTS delivery structure saw an Event
Manager based at head office (Haidee Stratford) with a
local competition manager taking responsibility for on
site logistics at each venue. Tri NZ would like to thank the
following competition managers who did a fantastic job
in the delivery of the 2009/2010 series; Wayne Reardon
(Rotorua and Kinloch); Kevin Endres (Whangamata);
Victoria Murray-Orr/Bill Roxburgh (Wanaka); Juliet
Fahey (Timaru); Phil Briars (Takapuna); and Ross Capill
(Wellington).
The CTS is a Tri NZ sanctioned series which means the
involvement of the technical team is critical to a well run
event. Tri NZ would like to pay particular thanks to the
following technical volunteers who have gone beyond
their duty in their assistance to the series; Ray Pitch; Pete
Weaver; Brent Hussey; Juliet Fahey and Ross Capill.

Looking Forward
The CTS will see the introduction of an exciting new
venue (Christchurch); a positive change to the structure of
the event team; a new website specific to the series and
improvements to the online entry system which feedback
told us we clearly required.
Pricing has been reviewed and we have budgeted for
another increase in participation, particularly in the 3:9:3
category. Prize money has been reviewed and will see the
removal of the overall series point’s money redistributed
into each of the seven races.
The series looks to increase its media profile with an
increase in coverage with national print media such as the
NZ Herald. Marketing of the series will see a more local
approach with the goal to get more value for money.
