P.A.P 1k Swim Time Trial - 17.29

Sledging, Banter, Shenanigans and getting beat up ....... no it’s not a continuation of the Churchill /Sands Cup but what has become the norm for the monthly swim time trial at the pool.
Smaller crew today with only 9 on the starting blocks that included Coach Walker, Angus, Cialis, QLDer Dave, Todd, Brendan, The Champ, MrAce and myself.
The Champ was first away and I was forced to give him 11 seconds start after my win last month at the A.B.C Pool, Worked hard to catch him within the first 300m and then overtook and tried to sit with what I thought was Todd's feet - didn't get anywhere near as it was Coach Walker who flew past (and wasn't to be the first time) Then had to contend with MrAce and Brendan sitting on my feet for the next 400m as I did all the work. I knew I was battling to hang on as any resemblance of form went out the window BUT still no one had come past me so maybe the 'DREAM' of another Duck was on the cards. Just about to turn at the 900m mark and then.....BANG, lights out, got a kick in the bonce from Pete Walker as he was in full tumble turn mode that left me seeing stars and no idea where I was. Still battled on for the final 100m (as you'd expect) but I knew my day was over.
A good finish was on the cards though all the same as Pete Walker went toe to toe with dual duck winner Angus and on this occasion the Coach got over the line by the merest of margins .....1 Second
*** An official protest was lodged immediately for rough tactics………..But was dismissed (By Walker himself) ***
Congrats to Pete Walker and great to see him get on the honours board

tomorrow I will be out in the morning for an easy 12ks , then heading down to the Shire to watch the State relays over 4ks .........or more importantly to go and eat the BEST scones in the business, care of Laura's mother. that is if she is still talking to us after The Chairman's foul mouth rant. It’s outrageous and I think I may need to take some soap down with me to wash his 'Potty Mouth' out ..........Shameful

May Duck Winner - Pete 'Coach' Walker - happy to finally get a win after 12 months of trying
Congrats Pete, well deserved

Cheers
