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 |
