Before the World 70.3 Title in Nice and the victory that followed six days later, CurraNZ was already part of triathlete Hayden Wilde’s daily routine. The Kiwi has used it consistently since the Tokyo Olympic cycle, through Paris and into his latest seasons of training and racing.
On 13 September, Wilde claimed the IRONMAN 70.3 world title in Nice, holding off Kristian Blummenfelt by just 18 seconds.
It was a huge moment. But another race was already approaching.
Six days later, he lined up at the French Riviera T100 against a field including Belgian Jelle Geens and fellow Kiwi Kyle Smith.
Wilde finished in 3:06:24, recording the fastest run split of the race. Geens took second, with Smith completing a podium featuring two New Zealanders.
Afterwards, Wilde expressed satisfaction with how his body had come through the previous weekend’s effort.
One world-class performance had become two.
The racing block still wasn’t finished.
On 27 September, Wilde returned to Olympic-distance competition at the World Triathlon Championship Final in Pontevedra, Spain: a 1.5km swim, 40km bike and 10km run.
He finished fifth, closing with a 29:39 run.
Two victories and a top-five finish across three successive weekends put his versatility on display. Behind those results lay the less visible demands of preparing, travelling, recovering and getting ready to compete again.
Those are the demands Hayden has spoken about when describing where CurraNZ fits into his life.
For Wilde, recovery and repeat performance are central to life at the top of triathlon. And for years, CurraNZ has been part of that routine.
Hayden’s connection with CurraNZ stretches back to the Tokyo Olympic cycle and continued through his preparations for Paris.
The New Zealand blackcurrant extract has accompanied him through Olympic campaigns, demanding training blocks, international travel and back-to-back races.
In comments published earlier this year, Hayden explained:
“At the top level, recovery and repeat performance matter just as much as race day, and CURRANZ has become part of my daily routine.”
His September racing block brought those demands into sharp focus: a world championship victory, another major win six days later, then a top-five finish over Olympic distance.
Your next goal might be a first triathlon, a trail-running weekend or an age-group championship. Whatever is on the calendar, making room for recovery deserves attention alongside the training itself.
Hayden’s September offered a remarkable example of the demands of repeat performance.
And through the years of preparation behind it - from the Tokyo Olympic cycle to Paris and beyond - CurraNZ has held its place in his daily routine.
A world-class Kiwi athlete. A best-in-class New Zealand blackcurrant supplement. A relationship built across years of training and racing.
