Australia Day Aquathon

Summer Series Race 3



Testing the water

Contemplating the task ahead

This should be fun

The participants gather

Get the goggles on

Last-minute tactic talk

Julie dishes out the starting orders

Neil Gilbert is ready to go

Gary Kendall thinks it's all just a bit of fun

Anthony Waye

The guys seem relaxed

Smile for the camera

This should be fun

That's the buoy there in the distance

Time check

I think I see where to go

President Ben

Don't start without me

Bruno is ready

The guys watch the women start

There they go

You're going to have to swim some time

They're nearing the turnaround

The first girls are there

Can't we start now?

The guys line up

Waiting

Ben holds them back

This is taking a long time

The girls are long gone

And... go!

The guys are away

No leaders yet

A frenetic start

Porpoising on the sandbank

Time to swim

Don decorates the BBQ area

This should create the right ambience

The Irish know best how to celebrate Australia Day

Exiting from the first swim

Might as well start to run

Hitting the beach

This is hard work

This is hard work too

Officiating is also hard work

This is one of my specialities

Who cares about the race- I'm the BBQ champ

A great way to end off

Don's very popular now

We need to refuel

Thank goodness for the tent- it's hot out there
