Meet report from Ann Reid
A single Viking, Ann Reid headed up the Hume and Newcastle freeways with her support crew on a recent warm Saturday to compete in the first BPS meet for the year. The Central Coast BPS Meet was held on Saturday 22 January — a long course event in the outdoor 50m at Gosford.
Three races later (200m, 100m and 50m Freestyle), Ann was slightly sun burnt but had achieved one time in the 50m Freestyle which she was happy with, and two slow times. Ann reckons her longer distances obviously need some work, but as it was still January and training hadn’t started, she took it as a good warm up for 2011!
Ann’s fourth, third and second placings earned fifth place in her age group (with eleven competitors), 24 points for the club and gave her something to work on for the next BPS Meet, which is the North Sydney sprint meet on 12 February.
