Mark Fabik finished in an impressive 34th place out of 83 competitors in the competitive Roughwater Head swimming marathon at the weekend. Mark was 21st of 51 male swimmers where many finished with a high standard sub three-hour time. Marks time was two hours and 48 minutes.
The Roughwater swim is a 10 km ocean swim starting from North Bondi Beach where Mark and Kristy McIntyre volunteer as lifeguards; a role which involves zinc, cool shades, strong colours, bronzed limbs, surf and a lot of lifesaving. Oh yeah, and maybe beers too.
Mark headed north around Ben Buckler, north along the coastline to South Head, then into Sydney Harbour past Lady Bay, Camp Cove and into the finish at the slipway of the Vaucluse Yacht Club located in Marine Parade, Watsons Bay.
Great swimming Mark and team.
