The 2015 Fannie Bay Swim Classic 1.2K Begins |
Susan has never competed in an open water swim meet and she was not sure how the open sea would feel. Well, it was a picture perfect winter day in Darwin with blue skies and air temperature of about 29C (about 85F) and the water was closer to 25C, warmer than the Parap Pool where she had been training. All in, the competition had well over 100 participants of ages over 15. She finished ahead of her goal at 13:40 coming across the finish line at the Darwin Trailer Boat Club.
