Hello Baggienurse.

Can you send me an email with your contact details? alan.collett@gomatilda.com

Thanks!

Hello Raahul. Sorry for the delay in replying - I have been in the UK.

If you have an agent you should be asking this question of him/her. Or changing your agent.

Best regards.

Thanks Kim.

I appreciate your kind words on the forum as well.

11th at the Danger 1000 (held at Torquay Front Beach) out of 100 in my age group - moving nicely up the field ...

Happy Australia Day!

Thanks Kim.

Mission accomplished (almost) - I finished 27th out of 693. No real dramas in the swim - I latched onto a chap who ploughed his way through the slower swimmers in the wave in front of ours and followed him through the gaps!

All in all I had a great day - lots of fun, and lots of people! Lorne is a fabulous spot in the summer - if you can find time I recommend Apollo Bay, Lorne, Anglesea, and Torquay, even if it can be a tad pricey at this time of year.

The Danger 1000 swim is next up, at Torquay next Saturday. Happy days!

Yep, I have done 3 open water swims here this summer, including the Anaconda Adventure Race (also at Lorne) in early December when I did the swim leg (2k's, plus a beach run). We finished 7th in our category (Veterans, aka old blokes who should know better), which we reckon was a pretty fine effort.

Finished 16th in my age group in Saturday's race (out of about 160-odd), and am going for a top 25 finish at Lorne this weekend (about 600 to 700 compete in my age group - it is a pretty insane time at the start!).

Enjoy the summer sun!

Very well thanks Kim!

The ocean swimming season is under way here in SW Victoria - the Pier to Pub swim at Lorne is taking place on Saturday, and is a highlight of the year for me.

Summer is great - even here in Victoria. Guaranteed warmth and sunshine - hurrah!
