Hamish Hammond

A relative newcomer to the sport of Triathlon, Hamish is climing the NZ and World Rankings with some impressive performances. Coming from a swimming background, and through a dedicated training regime, he has quickly increased his skills and fitness in the other disciplines. On the cycling side, he is supported by Crank It Cycles and Specialized New Zealand.

He recently took delivery of a Specialized Transition Pro time trial bike, upon which he has already produced some outstanding results.
