MySport TV Show

During the course of a most productive weekend, which included doing the pending maintenance work on my car and a whole stack of things around the house, I finally got around to copying the coverage of National Triathlon Series off our hard disk video recorder. Ideally it would of been better quality-wise to record it straight to DVD, as the hard disk recorder compresses the video quite heavily, but the coverage of the Whangamata race was shown while I was in Italy and the DVD recorder isn't ours.

I've edited the programme down to just the intro and the coverage of the Whangamata race (the title says Wellington, but someone obviously didn't proof read it before broadcast! :-P). The race shown is only the longer Olympic length triathlon, since they were covering 3 events rather than 2 like the earlier episodes they unfortunately didn't include the sprint length races. However both races covered the same course, just the number of laps differed, so it gives you an idea of what the course was like nonetheless. Something which was missing in the photos I posted which just covered the transition area.

The video is in Quicktime MPEG Format, so you'll need a recent version of Quicktime Player to view it—this is included with iTunes, so if you have an iPod you'll have it installed already. Right-Click on the link below and click "Save As...", enjoy!
