Port Elizabeth based German Triathlete 28 year old Johannes Moldan stormed to the lead in the bike leg to take line honours in Round 2 on Sunday.

The 2nd round of the Endurade Winter Series was held at Pollok Beach on Sunday morning in near perfect winter conditions with 7 events taking place simultaneously and a great attendance of participants.

With all events starting at 10am, it was the Kids 1.25km fun runners that crossed the finish line first with Jayson Archibald winning ahead of Joshua Marais and Kayliegh Marais with Tatum Lowe in 4th place. The 750m Ocean Swim saw Aidan Baker winning from Rolf Kickhofel and Lea Steyn whilst the 5km Fun Run was won by Tristan Marais and Liezel Wait with Ryder Swans and James Maclear taking 2nd and 3rd on the male category behind Marais with Tracy Maclear finishing just behind Wait in the ladies category.

In the fun Duathlon events, Reghardt Klinkenburg won the Kids Duathlon from Josh Hufkie whilst Dewald Klinkenburg and Micha Swans won the mini-duathlon. In the sprint distance Duathlon, Ross Helliwell took his 2nd win of the Series ahead of Alex Blumberg and William Wilson whilst Jade Hooke won the ladies division from Neylese Donaldson and Lindsay Steele.

The competition was tight once again in the Sprint distance Triathlon event with Port Elizabeth based German Triathlete Johannes Moldan pulling off a win in 1hr 1minute despite a nasty fall at the start of the bike leg after hitting a pot hole. Round 1 winner Travis Mcgrath finished in 2nd place with Mauritz Erasmus in third. Antonelle Saporta stormed to a win in the ladies division in 1hr 14min ahead of Robyn Furstenburg and Kimberley Vorster.
