Rylock swim series, race 18, March 17, 2022

A small select field this week, with 78 doing the long swim of 1600m and 15 doing the short option of about 600m.

The race got off to an exciting start when naughty boy Geoff Lart shouted out “Five seconds to go”, then whistled loudly. Of course half the field set off, but they were soon reined in and a semblance of order was restored.

After a more conventional start, Terry Bone and Hamish Neill came in ahead of Raphael Borborema, Matt Hansen, Hayden Lockie and Peter Burrell, with Lucy Barron next, leading the women ‘s field from Christina Harris and Sam Harman.

Those results raise the intriguing question of who will win the M30-39 age group. Take a look at last week’s points and you’ll see how close it is between Hayden and Raphael.
