Great start to the open water series at Goz
Caption: Dan Benton keeps an eye out at the 800m / 2km wave start
The first round of the Piranha Open Water Swim series was held in still and cloudy conditions at Gosling Creek yesterday afternoon. Water temp was fine. Great to see new faces (Phil and Jackson Wilkin, Mitch Nelson) and returns (Clarissa Lark and Richard Hogg). Jacko Wilkin just needs a few pointers in sighting! It was a good event for everyone and an additional good hitout for those who race in Canberra or Western Sydney this weekend…good luck Piranhas.
Thanks Meg Goodwin for rego, Steve Martin for timing, and Dan Benton (member and The Barnyard) for hosting and water safety.
Results:
200m: Olivia Martin, Pip Martin
400m: Jessie Dean, Charlotte Simmons, David Hunter
800m: Rory Thornhill, Matt Dean, Janet Martin
2km: Mitch Nelson, Josh Stapley, Andrew Glastonbury
