First up was the kids. They did a variety of swim distances and then all ran together until near the end when they raced down the hill to the finish line. The swim times are below. Well done to all the kids!

In the main game, two of the youngsters - Jeff and Ben - lead the way in the water with the only sub-8 minute swims, 7:40 and 7:50 respectively. Next best were Adrian and Wally at just over 8 minutes. The fastest ladies in the water were Natalie and first-timer Kath with 9:35 and 9:44 respectively.

The run leg saw the older gentlemen stamp their authority, more or less. Wally had a lightning transition which helped him to a 15:45 run split. Second run split went to Tony Nicklin and young Ben Moss did an awesome 16:23 run which was enough to get him second outright.

Some great racing saw Wally the outright winner and places 3 to 8 all finish between 26 and 27 minutes with just a few seconds separating each of them.
