1/16/2018 | |
On the 7th of Jan some intrepid swimmers braved the 18 degree cold water, all without wetsuits, at Golden Beach for the Kamachi OWS series part 2 race. Some great results especially considering the conditions, and some big age groups! Awesome work guys, keep it up! Highlight was watching Gordon Mason smash the 5km for a comfortable win.
