The Last Gasp of Summer Open Water Swim took place this past September 15th on Angle Lake in Seatac. And our Coach Tammy was there to chronicle the event!
It was a cool crisp morning with a little drizzle but the water was warm and TWIM was strong.
Dan the man Underbrink and his wife Mary went first in the 2M wetsuit division. Dan took 3rd in his age group and 5th male overall with a time of 58:58.9. Way to go Dan! Mary swam beautifully taking 2nd place in her age group with a time of 1:13:44.9. Way to go Mary!
Next up to swim was the non-wetsuit 1 milers. Our very own Kathy Pelham went into beast mode and took 1st Place overall female AND 1st Place in her age group with an overall time of 25:56.9. Yes people, that is 2.3 MPH! Superbly done, Kathy!
And last but not least, Valerie Thompson and Jason Koppelberger swam in the 1M wetsuit division. Valerie swam great with a time of 41:25.8 and took 24th overall! Great swimming, Valerie!
Finally our newcomer, Jason Koppelberger, showed them how it’s done taking 1st Place in his age group and 3rd overall male with a time of 31:01.9. Excellent job, Jason!
Another great TWIM success!
