blueseventy triathletes face off in food fight

... but all for a good cause!  This was a food fight of a different kind.  Fresh off her Ironman NZ win, Sam Warriner took on up and comer Teresa Adam in a battle for the title of chocolate brownie Queen.  But this was not just for bragging rights - the aim was to raise money for the quake ravedged region of Christchurch.

Using their own secret brownie recipes, the girls faced off in front of a crowd at the Falls Restaurant in Auckland, where a panel of judges (including the local mayor) got to taste the final product and vote for the winner.

It was close but in the end Teresa won the contest, and her brownie will be sold at the restaurant for a month with all proceeds contributing to the $2,500 raised on the day for Christchurch.

Teresa has had some time to practice because while Sam has been out training for IMNZ Teresa has been recovering from surgery to correct a problem in her leg. But just like Sam's heart condition didn't hold her back from winning Ironman NZ, Teresa is focused on qualifying for the London 2012 Olympics later this year at the London round of the ITU World Championship series.

Testing the pants off our suits...

It's a tough job but someone has to do it... and in this case it's young up and coming kiwi triathlete Teresa Adam testing out our elite kit in the lab. Looks painful (the testing - not the suit - that looks super sweet)...

Teresa dropped us this pic with her latest update...
"I enjoyed doing a photo shoot for the new blueseventy triathlon apparel range last week - its not everyday you get to run around with a flock of sheep in a race suit...

Over the weekend I was down in Dunedin doing some heat testing in the heat chamber at Otago Uni, perfect time to try out the new blueseventy tri suit in really tough conditions and I must say it felt great! So now I will be heading off to Boulder Colorado, Germany and Hungary in 10 days to train with the NZ Triathlon High Performance Team. I feel so blessed to have such an awesome opportunity and I know I will go well in my kick ass blueseventy gears!"

Teresa was 4th out of the water in the first round of the ITU World Champs series in Sydney (on debut) so we have no doubt she will be doing some ass kicking in our kit - go Teresa!
