Big crew and plenty of excitement for the November 1k handicap
swim with Hoey making a debut, The ‘Two Brendan’s’ looking confident, Gleeso
parading around in his fancy swimwear, and Kroney taking it one step further by
wearing a ‘speedsuit’
Hoey was first away with Gleeso not far behind, my first aim
for the day was to try to reel the Champ in who I was forced to concede 25
seconds to, after about 400m there was still no sight of him as I was swimming
solo, changed lanes and jumped on someone’s feet who it turned out wasn’t even
with us and proceeded to stop at around the 600m mark. Saw Kroney at the 700 metres stage of the
race so changed back lanes and tagged on him for a short time as he was flying
and I basically had to finish the last 4 laps by myself.
Touched out in a PB of 16.33 that I was delighted with but
it still was only good enough for 3rd as Kroney took out the Duck
and a much improved Champagne wasn’t far behind.
Congrats to Kroney on the win, he really has improved over
the past two months knocking nearly two minutes from his September T/T – Wonder
how much that ‘Speedsuit’ helps though? And to think I got bagged and given a 60 second penalty the
last time I wore my ‘Floaty Pants’
The lads are getting faster with loads of PBs for the day, which
bodes well for those heading into the triathlon season.
Cheers
