On Sunday the 29th of January 2012, there was continued success for Bodytech athletes Paul Laver and Jessica Barclay who competed in round 6 of the Open Water Swim Series at Sorrento Beach. It was another warm day but with the very strong winds created very choppy and challanging conditons for swimmers, especially those racing in the 10km event.
Paul Laver was 1st in his Male Open category and also overall for the 10km distance in 1:59:48 and Jessica Barclay coming 4th in the Female Open category completing the 10km distance in 2:34:08
Unfortunately athlete Jessica Palmer had to withdraw from the race after suffering in the race with illness, and now awaits to see if she can redo her qualifying distance swim to be eligible to compete in the Rottnest Channel swim solo along with Paul and Jess Barclay in Feb.
Congratulations guys and fingers crossed for you Jess P!
