Honestly… it was a rush to get into the water this morning… 7 degrees out, 19 degrees in… Peeling waves breaking all along Manly Beach! Get me in the drink.
Lovely to see Caitlyn Jenner come down for a swim.
Sabrina did the 6:30am and then quickly donned this delightful beanie… and what a gentleman our Sterling is, keeping her warm!
Rumour is that the Spainard went 7:08 for crossing back at the 6:30am swim. That would have to make him the favourite for this long weekend’s Winter Triple Crown! Yes that is right folks, your favourite A-team event is back this weekend for the winter edition. It will be three days of tightly contested races back to Manly. George the Ghost is the current holder of the triple, though all eyes will be on the Spaniard, Irishman Alex and Brad. Don’t forget the fat Bishop either, as I am having my usual run of wins heading into the Triple (normally to then inexplicably come 8th on race day).
The beautiful Baker family will be away for the weekend missing the Triple. Congratulation to them on the news a little boy is on the way to join Elliot.
Finally it was off to the benches where Bruce told us tales about how to win an Olympic Games without bribing half the nations of the world. It turns out that integrity can still trump greed and foul play! As JC said, “what good is it to gain the whole world and yet forfeit your soul.” I say Bruce for FIFA President.
Or Maxim ‘more champagne’ Mangraviti…
Ok, don’t forget the dinner at Bluewater next week, and see you for a dip soon! It may be cold out of the water, but it really is stunning in! Also, if this interests you, the Alpha Course starts in ernest next Wednesday. You are welcome to come and check it out…

Nice and warm in the water today, but a bit wavey and a sort of rip pulling into Shelly beach.
Laugh of the day is when I got out and said to Mariah – “where are all the swimmers?”thinking surely its 7am by now (got in about 6;45am) and they were already at Shelly beach – steathily passing me unnoticed.
DWSS – yes we did swim!
The Spaniard
