Race Night Results Up, Harbour Crossing, Everyday Hero

Race Night
Race night results are now up on the respective pages for viewing. There were 14 or 15 swimmers taking part and 10 more records were smashed - 7 to the ladies and 3 to the gents. Well done team.

Avy took out the honours for Swimmer of the Month. Unless you've been under a rock you will have known that she took a trip over the ditch to compete in the Pan Pacific's. Not surprisingly she covered herself all over in glory, taking out 6 gold medals. That's 6 gold medals in international competition. That is setting a new standard for us all to aspire to.

Harbour Crossing
This 2.9 km ocean swim took place this morning in near perfect conditions - sunny and no wind. Most swimmer's times however were around 4 minutes slower than last year's time so perhaps there was some strange currenty thingummy going on somewhere.

I can't give out full results yet as for some reason Avy's result is unavailable and she is likely a podium finish so I will put out a full report later. However, I will tell you that Liz smashed out a 1st place in her age group and the 2 Dave's (Donaldson and Bradding) had a right old tussle, finishing just 3 seconds apart with Dave D coming 2nd in age and Dave B coming 3rd in age group. I wonder if they were swimming next to each other and didn't know it or did they just converge at the finish line.

So far that is 3 podium finishes with Avy's almost certain podium finish to be confirmed once they find her (!!!).

Everyday Hero
A big shout out to our Denise who swam the Harbour Crossing for the first time. She has been building up to this swim for several months as was doing this swim for her sister (ask her about that if you wish to know). Denise has received amazing support throughout from hubby Adam and her 2 sons. Denise isn't just an Everyday Hero, she is a hero every day.
