Did the Sydney splash swim event today and saw former professional tri journeyman Paul Ambrose out having a dip.
Managed 2nd in his age group pipped by one of the Bondi Lifeguard crew. He’s a rep for Zoggs goggles these days.
Also saw the wonderful human Matty Harris. Matt’s had a bit going on the last few years but is getting back to his old self and as usual was all smiles and never short of a word.
As an aside I know the skimpy bikini bottoms are on trend this year but didn’t think they had migrated to also be used as race togs, but alas that is the case. Pretty sure that’s why my goggles fogged up so quickly. 😆

He’s had a break from teaching for the last three years, spent some time out western NSW with his brother, now back in Sydney and starting a new teaching job this term. Yep he’s getting back on the mic but a few of his staples like Kurnell etc have not resumed post covid but yes you will hear his dulcet tones at events near you soon. Last time I saw him prior to yesterday was at the Sydney skinny, not really an event where you want to be singled out by the announcer over the PA and pulled in for an interview. Luckily that was pre-disrobing. |

He's awesome on a mic, thats for sure! He might be back at your favourite swimming event soon! |
