NARACOORTE and Lucindale triathlon clubs made up a large contingent of the record 200 competitors who took part in Saturday's fourth annual Beachport Triathlon.
It was a sunny but rough start, with winds around 30km/h stirring up the water and making the swim leg even more challenging than usual.
The weather fined up throughout the morning for the next two legs.
