Follow my complete journey as I prepare and compete in one of my toughest challenges yet...the 2014 Perth to Rottnest Island Channel swim.

Broulee (Beach to Breakers)

Our chasing pack has a nice lead on the main pack
The day started at 5am this morning with a cup of coffee from McDonalds as we headed to the coast for the 1.4km Beach to Breakers ocean swim.

We got there at 7:45am and proceeded to register. The lady told me that the Open Swim was for the elite swimmers only so i decided to just enter the age division. Bummed about not being able to swim twice i thought i would put everything into the one swim.  I got held up on the first buoy but after that it was flat out and i came in under 24 minutes. That is pretty good for me.

Waited around for the presentation and i must say what a wonderful clubhouse and members.  This is one of the most friendly clubs and well run events i have participated in...well done Broulee SLC. Our wonderful friend Pauline won the 60's female and i won a random draw prize...a very nice tee shirt.

Off for lunch to Mossy Point and then we drove back to Canberra. I had the itch to swim some more so i went off to Dickson Pool and pushed out 3.2km.  A very nice way to end the day!
