Well! What a fun night it was, even with the cold and drizzly rain.
The night started off with the usual format of the aquathon with Alan O’Brien running to victory.
Well done to the juniors Luke and Dean who competed with the adults and showed us how its done.
Then came the Relays – the highlight of the night.
Im sure we all agree no one wanted to put back on the wet wetsuit but I’m guessing you are all glad you did.
We had 8 mixed teams of a Junior/Senior Male/Senior Female.
Team names were picked and the athletes chose their running order. Each athlete swam and ran, then tagged their team mates who ran up the pier and dived in. They demonstrated some great diving skills and belly flops (ouch)!!!
The Mighty Ducks led for most of the race, followed by Cialan Harris & Gang and The Anchors. However on the final run Cialan Harris & Gang made a final push for the win, followed by The Mighty Ducks and The Anchors.
The atmosphere was great with everyone cheering on their team mates. Definitely something we will have to do again!
Congrats to the all the teams who raced for the second time last night – The Wannabes, The rubber Duckies, The A Team, The Polar Bear and the Bould Boruvians.
