Incredible showing from the Barrie TC. Paul, Gavin, Marcus,Doug, Greg, Matt, Eric, Marie, Darcy, Shawn, Jon, Kevin and more... all participating in the hot conditions. Jon Dow had an absolutely stellar race finishing 8th overall. Jon told me his goal was 2 hrs 12 mins. Not only did he beat his target he massacred it. Kevin White showed why he is going to the Worlds, had a strong race too. Shawn Patton had a very good race considering he was one of many swimmers who got caught in what will now be remembered as the "wrong side of the island swim". Still somewhat of a mystery, a large group of swimmers i believe were using the wrong rooftop to site and slowly unknowingly drifted far right. A rough guess about 250 meters, maybe more offline. After the race we were talking to John Salt [Race Director] and he acknowledge it was a problem. John shared even his wife, who is a strong experienced swimmer got caught in this bizarre circumstance. Regardless, Gravenhurst continues to be one of everybody's favorite races. Go to Chiptime results to see results. ps: thank you Larry McDonald for your support and well wishes.
