ONE STEP AHEAD: Kombucha as a health tonic and potential recovery drink. WORKOUT OF THE WEEK: 'Getting Hot' - heat acclimation with Julia Casadio, Performance Physiologist with High Performance Sport New Zealand. HOT PROPERTY INTERVIEW – MARK BOWSTEAD: In 2009 Mark won the 20-24 age group at the ITU long distance World Champ and New Zealand's prestigious non-drafting Olympic distance Tinman Triathlon. The next year he won the first of three straight wins at the Auckland Half Ironman. In 2014 Mark won the Taupo half, was 2nd at the Tauranga half, and this year won his first IM 70.3 at Buffalo Springs in a time of 3hrs 53mins. Mark loves nothing more than long training days and relishes his 7 hour brick sessions. He's moving long next year with his debut at this distance being IMNZ 2016. Can’t wait to watch him race!
