The Pier to Pub has be run and won. Not by me, but, what a great time I had.

This was my second entry and it was just great.  Relaxed before the race. Had a warm up before my wave.
Entered into the Super Vets group : 60 ~ 69.

My time was 28:06  (1.2Km).  Nearly a minute better than last year.  What surprised me was that I was able to just keep swimming.  There was no fatigue during the race.  Tired at the end though.  A lot to do with the training during the year I suspect.
Held my ground (position) during the race and was not intimidated by the other swimmers.  So I banged and crashed my way to the finish line.  BTW there were almost 300 in my swim wave and 5000 over the day.

At training this morning, went for the P2P distance.  Started with some warm-up’s (700meters), not too fast. 

Then a 1.3Km with a  ~150meter foot sprint to finish off.

100meter warm down

2.1Km for the day

1.3Km in 31 minutes.  Sprint 32 seconds.  That is about 24 minutes for 1Km

Happy with that
