A BIG DAY

 

Yesterday was the annual Wreck2Reef swim, lots of individual races from kids to a 2.5 km swim. i was photographer for the yacht club so it was a full morning from 9 till 12.30 running from the start of one race to the finish of the last, 50m apart but overlapping!  also taking pics for Wild Waves, lots of Salties wearing their wonder swimcoats!  Sunny Luke and Etta were here for Sunny's race, the 10.5km Sunset Run in the evening at 5, along the waterfront from St Leonards to Portarlington.  it was a full day and the weather was perfect, mild 23deg, overcast and hardly any wind, just enough breeze to cool the runners.  Sunny was really happy with her time, she looked fresh as a daisy as she ran in and three of the Salties who'd really put in a lot of training time, finished the 2.5km swim together, we were all so excited and there were tears and laughter.  A very happy day full of smiles and friendship.

I started the day taking pics of the fabulous Wild Waves swimcoats for their website

then spent the rest of the morning just 

photographing everything and everyone!

      First placegetter in the 2.5km, so determined to win the run up to the finish did him in!! but only for a minute

              JO has worked so hard this year on her swimming going from            swimming to the pole to finishing the 2.5km yesterday.   

everyone was thrilled for her
