Paul,
what a great achievement.
Hopefully your sunburnt tongue settles down soon.
We can ask Management when / if a 20 km badge is coming?
This morning was so clear, I could see the bottom nearly all the way across to Shelly
– and the fish, their variety and numbers were fantastic.
That all out-weighed the one purple-people-eater 100 m off the red and white blocks of flats at the point and a couple of small stings.

Thanks, Kierin…..and also thanks to all the recidivist triplers (Inge, Sue, Greg, Cheryl, John et al) who all made the long training miles so much easier and more enjoyable. Likewise to the convivial 6am (occasionally 5:30) group for getting my sessions started, most especially Jo. 🙂
