#48. Bondi to Bronte ocean swim: event crew

Yesterday was the annual 2.4km ocean swim from Bondi to Bronte. Now we are involved with Bronte SLSC via nippers and the B2B is a major fund raising event for the club, Paul decided to volunteer for the event. He worked on the drinks station at the finish, filing then handing out 1000 souvenir drink bottles and a similar number of cups of powerade. it was fun but hard work
The winner did it in an incredible 24 minutes. That's 10 mins per km. In an exciting finish, the quinella was decided by a sprint up the sand. And to illustrate the class of the field, the runner up had been in the Olympics and led the 10km Olympic swim at the 8 km mark. The first female was a 15 year old girl.
