I am quiting the challenge - because we did not win. But I am definetly putting in effort to help us win the 200 km one.

Sure girls have to quit this challenge as we lost... Still the 200km is now up and 'running'... off to the pool perhaps? ; )

Graham R Hey everyone. Just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed "swimming" with you all during this challenge. It was really close towards the end and I rushed home from work today knowing that one team would have completed it. So thank you all for the good nature that the challenge was conducted in and all the support that was given to each other. Count me in for future swim challenges - it has been a pleasure :)
