Avalon 17th January













Ocean swim, about 1.6k
Circuit around Avalon Beach
Warm water, light wind, not much swell
Run out along the northern head of Avalon, south then back in to the beach.
Was able to maintain a strong and consistent pace for the whole race
Time 32.34

A comment later from water safety:
"Yes there were two sharks but 5 boats went over and made sure that it left the area.
We did not alarm the beach nor want the shark alarm to go off. Can you imagine 1,000 swimmers trying to get out of the water at the same time???
I felt that what we did was the best decision. We knew where the sharks were and if we felt that the swimmers would be in harm, then other actions would of been made."
