On Sunday 4th July a few Otters made the most of the racing opportunities at the Hever Castle Festival of Endurance. Despite the sometimes torrential rain, all the events took place.

First off was Rosie Galvin in the 10km open water swim. The 06:15 race start time did not stop her powering through to finish 3rd in the women’s non-wetsuit category. At the more civilised time of 08:30, Robyn Carter and Pip Bennett took part in the 1.9km swim/10.5km run Aquathlon. Undeterred by the wet and muddy trails Robyn finished 2nd woman and category winner and Pip overall winner.

Getting away from the event was rather trickier with the wet weather turning the car park into a muddy trap for city cars!
