With School holidays coming up and a few of us away next week, this months 1k Time Trial was brought forward a week so it was back to the pool for the 3rd day on the spin. No sign of Brendan, Julia, MrAce or Cialis today so it meant I was starting first on the handicap clock – Felt like a bloody hare setting off and it wasn’t long before QLDer Dave caught me – we played a bit of Cat n Mouse for the next 300 as he didn’t want to come past me and when he did he only managed to stay there for a further 100m. Managed to put a slight gap on him at the 650 only for Angus to fly past me, did my best to stay with him but only succeeded in doing so for another 100m or so. Saw Eoin the Leech reduce the gap early but he must have faded over the final stages as looking at his finish time it was very close between the two us. Luckily enough nobody else managed to overtake me in the latter part as I touched out in 17.00 on the dot.
About 16 seconds slower then last month, but most people were down on the previous and I was happy enough as I was made to swim without my pool Buoy for the first time J
Congrats to Angus Boyd who took out the September ‘White Duck on handicap and in doing so becomes the first dual winner after also taking out the June T/T. Fastest swim of the day went surprise surprise Elan with a sharpish 13.38 ( we really need to get the Mermaid back )
Times for everyone were:
MrAce 17.20
Timmy 17.00
QLDer Dave 16.50
Leech 17.02
Taffy Lad 17.00
Angus 15.30 ‘White Duck’ WINNER
Pete 14.58
Catfish Chris 14.24
Elan 13.38 Fastest Swim of the Day
Have a great weekend
Cheers
Congrats Mate :)
