Beautiful morning… water 20.8 degrees, over 80 swimmers and 14 went all the way to Queenscliff and back, including the physically impressive Ted and Pete.
Lovely to come down to a shining Pacific Ocean.
Sterling shocked us all by swimming early and going to work… work I tell you…
JP decided to go through Scotty’s Passage at the 6:30am swim but Scotty’s Passage was closed for business. You can go find some bits of JP on the rocks…
And who was the prettiest, who was the most cunning, and most importantly who was the fastest swimmer this morning? Scrappy Scotty Mellis!
Finally it was time for the post swim analysis which included Skye (my non A-team mention of the week) demonstrating how her former life as a raver has influenced her technique.
I am off to start renovations on our apartment in Manly. It will soon look like Peter Woods swimming (like a bomb has hit it). Have a great day.

OK, I get it – Lips, we have to persuade one of the A-Team to swim with me on a Thursday! Who is the slowest? How about a bolder-shelly next Thursday, any Peter?

Hi All,
Such a great start of a day, once again! My name is Greg, I joined the B&B exactly one month ago, anniversary day! It was also my birthday today! 33 years have passed and I was expected to walk on the water this morning but it didn’t happen for some reason. I recently move to Manly (one month ago!) from Melbourne where I spent 5 years and I’m looking for work every day after my morning swim… So if anyone has some advice or even a job feel free to contact me! I have a strong sales background/customer focused mind + experience in CRM/project management where I aim to pursue my career 🙂
Now let’s see if I can turn my glass of water into wine today…
Cheers!
Greg

Nice work Bishop.
Another one of LSA’s trademark slow and social Bolderdash-Shelly (B’elly) swims tomorrow. 5:50 to 5:55 start. 5:45 if Shaun joins. Everyone welcome.

Enough of this bullying behavior Mr Lippy.
I can start earlier by myself and then you can all catch me.
I wouldn’t want to be accused of getting anyone out of bed any earlier than they need to.
Isn’t that right Shelly?

Lips I’m interested but want to check that there is a route other than LSA’s over the shark nets and via New Zealand.
I prefer to be able to see land when i swim

Yeh, but not sure Lesley yet qualifies for the Thursday blog…. has to be a ‘proper’ A-Teamer to qualify for a blog pic unless one is Tim’s Token non a-Teamer for the day to prove how really inclusive they are at heart:-))

Nurse J, join us! Always options! New Zealand is not compulsory!
Meet 5.45 and start as soon as Diva Lips arrives:)
Shelly
20/11/2014 at 3:50 pm
That’s right! Don’t put up with the bullying:)
Turn up at 5.45 and they’ll be honoured to have you. You never know, I may even make an appearance if I manage to sort-out my under-arm chafing and cosmetic issues. I’ll show you a real Shelly Belly:-))

Yes, Greg, join the regular MW 2 hour coffee and you’ll soon find that your work status is pretty normal round here! Seriously, good to chat around in the group and introduce yourself.
