Another stunning sunrise this morning folks.... somewhere in Australia - but not here :) I didn't have to look far for metaphors on the Sydney weather this morning.. but you know the water is going to be nice and warm (21.7c)
No shortage of happy faces...
....and some were looking serious... Is that Brian without a wetsuit? Careful you don't look directly at the legs, ... temporary blindness!
Today is the last chance for the 10k and 6k swims.. there was some brief strategy discussion, and it was decided the 10k would be acheived by 67 laps of the Shelley/point swim.
7am.. JK makes the call.. off we go...
Wabbit season / Duck season / wabbit season / duck season...
Now.. there was an awesome little channel/rip a few metres offshore this morning which was very entertaining... the water was moving fast and deep and a few lost their feet..
Errr Midge... ummm... watch the step...
Ummm Anna... watch the... step...
OK ladies... just watch.. this is how you do it...
*Note: No Annas or Midges were harmed durning the making of this blog *
The swim was great today.. water was superb... surprisingly not murky you could see the bottom most of the way over...
Shelley was nice too..
Good to see all our marine friends made it through the last 2 weeks of Sydney weather...
Good luck 6k and 10k swimmers!
