2.3 km Cronulla Shark Island Swim

Once again Kimble and Juice were in the water for another Ocean swim.
This weekend was the 2.3km Cronulla Shark Island Swim




The conditions were fair,
Outside: 25 Degrees
Water: 20 degrees
Swell: was tough around the island due to tide movement.
Un-wanted: Hammerhead Shark.

Life guards getting ready to patrol the route...I wonder if they knew what was going to happen?

Swimmers getting ready at the start.

Well done to Juice for winning the day.

Juice 00:42:56

Kimble 00:44:44

I wonder how much faster these later swimmers would have been had they known about the Hammerhead shark that was in the water with us?

Clearly the Shark Island swim lived up to it's name.

Looking forward to next years Cronulla Shark Island Swim.

Roland & Mich PR Party

Went to Rol & Mich's place to celebrate them getting their 'PR' Permanent Residence and it was Rol's birthday.



This is Mich & Rol




The theme was something Aussie!
So Juice went as an Aussie Olympic swimmer.





Wade was so funny as Olivia Newton-John



ASX and Croc Dundee



A blue-bottle, Pat Cash and Carl Williams


Kimble went as an 'Essendon' AFL player.


Rol as 'The Gladiator'


Good night out!

World's Greatest Shave - Kimble goes back to bald!

Kimble took part in "World's Greatest Shave" to raise money for Leukaemia.

Not only was I raising money for Leukaemia but this also marks my 10th year of remission.

>

Jo, my manager had paid extra money to be the one to shave my head.

>

I started to worry... "I hope they don't leave my hair like this!"

Then panic..."What happens if my hair doesn't grow back!"

.

.

All done Kimble has gone back to bald for a good cause.

Thank you to all those out there who made a donation to this cause.

10 years behind me and looking forward to the next 10.

Sporting Weekend (Triathlon & Harbour Swim)

This weekend Kimble and Juice entered separate events.
Juice entered the 2 km Harbour Classic Swim while Kimble competed in the NSW Sprint Triathlon Championships








There was a record turn out for this event.



Clearly all the training is starting to pay dividends as Juice turned in her best time of the season.
00:28:44 ( 7th in age category, 44th overall for women)

Great swim.
