Sunday morning started down at the lake. All 10 remaining men and 10 women lined up ready to dive into the water.
SWIM PADDLE
- 1,000-m swim
1,000-m paddle
Time cap: 50 minutes
All the male and female athletes completed the event together.
Aussies Tia-Clair Toomey and Matt McLeod established an early and convincing lead over the rest of the competitiors. They were the first out of the water. Ohlsen and Gudmundsson both looked strong and confident coming out of the water as they moved onto the second section of the event.
Amanda Banhart, a former competitive swimmer herself, was second out of the water for the women. She was followed by Ohlsen, Shadburne, Newbury, Gudmundsson, Adams, Greene and Saxon Panchik and Mat Fraser.
As the athletes returned home on the paddle boards Tia and McLoed were neck and neck.
They sprinted out of the water with smiles on their faces and as Tia crossed the line she looked back and jovially teased McLeod “Come on, come on”.
