Triathlon NZ has gone online to race during COVID-19.
The sporting organisation is hosting a six-week virtual bike race series for members.
The TRI NZ Zwift Saturday Race League will use an app called Zwift. This connects people’s at-home bike trainers or stationary bikes through a device, such as a laptop or a tablet.
In the first race, held on Saturday, Kiwi triathlete Hayden Wild was the winner of the main race which also included athletes from Australia.
The device shows a video game-like animated race, where you can see each participant race with.
All races will be live-streamed on the Tri NZ Facebook page.
Participants will compete in different grades, with their best four times counting towards their overall ranking.
