HäkinakinaMass start IronMäori 2011Tängata MaitaiIronMäori winner two years running Kevin Nicholson.PHOTO CREDIT: HAWKES BAY TODAY.A hauora initiative, which began toencourage people to adopt healthierlifestyles and to establish goals towardsthat, has morphed into a huge one-dayevent in Hawkes Bay.Iron Mäori – where people swimtwo kilometres, cycle 90kms and run21.1kms – was established in 2009 andattracted fewer than 300 participants.That number doubled in 2010 and on 3December last year 1550 people tookpart in Iron Mäori number three.While the event itself is important,and a huge crowd of supporters andparticipants gather at the start/finishline at Ahuriri in Napier, the goalsetting and the preparation is wherethe real work is done.Organiser Heather Skipworth talks aboutpeople turning round their lives whiletraining for the event, and achievingmajor health gains along the way.“Two of the men who took part weighedover 200-kilogrammes before theyentered. One of them Harley Thompsonweighed 240kgs and in the course ofhis training and adopting a healthierlifestyle he dropped to 170kgs.”“Of the 1550 people who took part,only a handful didn’t complete theirevent. Those who did now know that ifthey set goals and achieve their aims,they can take on anything. They canapply this to anything in life.”The overall winner of Iron Mäori 2011was Kevin Nicholson who hails fromWairoa but lives in Wellington. He wonin 2010 too. Kevin’s winning time wasfour hours and forty-four minutes.The first woman home was AliHollington from Hawkes Bay and hertime was within ten minutes of Kevin’s.Race Director Jeanette Cooper wasparticularly impressed with the effortsof Agnes Allen from Kaitaia.“She came from a position of completeinactivity prior to training for IronMäori and competing in all threeevents; the swim, bike ride and run.”“It took her 12-hours 32-minutes and54-seconds to finish.”“We had packed up and most peoplehad gone off to the prize-giving whenshe was coming in to the finish, but shekept going because she really wanted toget her finishing medal; and she did.”42T E P U N I K ö K I R I | K ö K I R I | H u i - t a n g u r u — P o u t ü - t e - r a n g i 2 0 1 2
HäkinakinaChampionPiriKahurangi Te Koingo Reedy withLisa Carrington Senior Mäori Sportswoman.Piri Weepu had a roller coaster year in 2011.First he fought back from a serious rugbyinjury in 2010. He lost both his grandfathersin 2011, but went on to play a pivotal partin the All Blacks successful Rugby WorldCup campaign; and the year culminatedwith him winning three awards at the MäoriSports Awards.Although he never started the tournament asthe All Black’s number one halfback, by theclosing stages of RWC 2011, Piri was not onlyleading the haka, but he stepped up at a timewhen the country was deeply despondentabout our chances, when Dan Carter waseliminated through injury.His performance in the quarterfinal matchagainst Argentina, in which he kicked sevengoals for the All Blacks 33 – 10 victory, wassuperb. His overall play may best be summedup by rugby writer Brendan Gallagherwriting in the Daily telegraph in Britain onthe eve of the cup final. He said of Piri, “Heis the Mäori heart and soul of the All Blackteam, an individual who brings great pridein the considerable Mäori hinterland of NewZealand rugby.”“The way he steadied the New Zealand shiphas seen him morph into a superman in theadoring local press.”The judges of the Mäori Sports Awards held inManukau in December must have had similarthoughts because they gave Piri the supremeprize – the Albie Pryor Mäori Sportsperson ofthe year award, the Senior Mäori Sportsmanof the year award, and he shared the MäoriSports Team prize with his fellow world cupwinning All Blacks Israel Dagg, Richard Kahui,Zac Guilford, Aaron Cruden, Corey Jane, CoreyFlynn and Hosea Gear.Piri who has played most of his rugby inWellington moves to Auckland for this yearssuper rugby season.The other major prizes were won by:Senior Mäori SportswomanLisa Carrington - canoeing.Junior Mäori SportsmanTrent Woodcock-Takurua - BMX.Junior Mäori SportswomanThea Awhitu - boxing.World champion title-holders:Jason Wynyard – wood-chopping.Luke Thompson - tae kwon do karate.Sam Sutton - extreme white water kayaking.Chelsea Marriner – dog agility.Jayne Parsons – tandem cycling.Lisa Carrington – canoeing.Jan Khan – lawn bowls.Mäori World Champions in TeamsRueben Te Rangi - 3 x 3 basketball.Mäori Sports Media AwardMäori Television - RWC 2011 final.Mäori Sports CoachJohn Love - softball.Mäori Sports TeamJason and Karmyn Wynyard- ‘jack and jill’ sawing.Mäori Umpire/RefereeMiah Williams - touch rugby.Disabled Mäori SportspersonJayne Parsons - tandem cycling.Mäori Sports AdministratorTony Kemp - rugby league.World individual champions: Jason Wynyard, Sam Sutton,Teneka Hyndman, Luke Thompson, Jayne Parsons, LisaCarrington, Marina Khan (for sister Jan Khan).T E P U N I K ö K I R I | K ö K I R I | H u i - t a n g u r u — P o u t ü - t e - r a n g i 2 0 1 243
