The results are in!
To say i’m rather pleased about this is an understatement. There have been a few things that have put a smile on my face recently and this is one of them. My overall experience with the Swimathon this year hasn’t been a good one but being able to finally see how well i did has made a big different to my overall feeling. To make the image above clear, there are multiple challenges of which i did the Individual 5K swim ( the longest ). In that challenge i was the 6th fastest for my age group, the 19th fastest male, and the 32nd fastest overall to complete the distance. Given that this was with relatively small training and not being able to tumbleturn i’m really, really pleased.
Someone asked me only last night if i would do it again and my reply was ‘Not sure, but not at River Park’. I think my reply today is ‘Yes, and still not at River Park’. Its a shame because so many simple things were missed out from the organisation. I’ve had pester for 2 months now to get this time accepted and registered in the database and considering it was my own timing and that the event should have timed me that was pretty appalling. Together with the communication, the event organisation on the day and poor way of managing sponsors i’m not totally convinced, but now i’ll be doing it again next year! Watch this space for #1!
