Welcome Kylie. Hi, thanks for having me."},{"startTime":40.0,"endTime":47.0,"body":"Oh, it's wonderful to have you. So we always kind of start off and just ask you to give us your swim story."},{"startTime":47.0,"endTime":55.0,"body":"So just what got you into it, what keeps you going and then we'll discuss some of the things that you've managed to do in your"},{"startTime":55.0,"endTime":67.0,"body":"athletic career. Okay, I actually, I was, I was never a swimmer. I could swim as a kid, but I was never very good swimmer."},{"startTime":67.0,"endTime":78.0,"body":"And then 2015, I was seeing a physiotherapy for a form of arthritis and he put me in the height of therapy pool at West Wape with very strict instructions."},{"startTime":78.0,"endTime":85.0,"body":"I wasn't allowed to swim because I was having so many issues with my arms. He was worried I'd drown."},{"startTime":85.0,"endTime":92.0,"body":"And I was literally walking up and down the pool and then my husband was doing his scuba dive training."},{"startTime":92.0,"endTime":101.0,"body":"He had to swim 400 meters in 16 minutes and I couldn't handle the cold water of the lane pool, but I could handle the warmer water of the wave pool."},{"startTime":101.0,"endTime":114.0,"body":"So in the mornings, I'd go along and I started after a while in the wave pool and I started swimming the 400 meters, but with snorkel and a mask because my neck was so bad, I couldn't tell you everything."},{"startTime":114.0,"endTime":120.0,"body":"And I would time myself and I think the first time took me 30 minutes to do the 400 meters, something like that."},{"startTime":120.0,"endTime":128.0,"body":"And I was really proud of myself and my idea was I was going to do the same thing he was doing, which I did. I went on and did that later."},{"startTime":129.0,"endTime":137.0,"body":"But then eventually I ended up over time joining the squad because I decided I wanted to do a triathlon and to be able to do a triathlon."},{"startTime":137.0,"endTime":139.0,"body":"I had to be able to swim."},{"startTime":139.0,"endTime":148.0,"body":"So it's been a very long steady slow journey and then 2021 I did Ironman New Zealand."},{"startTime":148.0,"endTime":149.0,"body":"Wow."},{"startTime":149.0,"endTime":155.0,"body":"Which is a 3.8k swim, a 180k on the bike and then a marathon."},{"startTime":155.0,"endTime":159.0,"body":"And I finished with 70 seconds to spare."},{"startTime":159.0,"endTime":161.0,"body":"So I got it done, but I need just."},{"startTime":161.0,"endTime":168.0,"body":"But the swimming has been the easiest part. It's the part I'm most comfortable with now and it's the part that keeps my body moving."},{"startTime":168.0,"endTime":173.0,"body":"It's being in the water, I can move easier and it keeps my joints moving so it helps me."},{"startTime":173.0,"endTime":178.0,"body":"So how many years ago did you kind of start on that swimming journey when you started in the pool?"},{"startTime":178.0,"endTime":184.0,"body":"It would be 2015. It only taught me a couple of months to progress to the point that I started swimming swimming."},{"startTime":184.0,"endTime":187.0,"body":"So it's been about 10 years, roughly."},{"startTime":187.0,"endTime":191.0,"body":"That's a fantastic story, you know."},{"startTime":191.0,"endTime":193.0,"body":"Yeah, I'm impressed."},{"startTime":193.0,"endTime":196.0,"body":"Similar thing I always thought I could swim and I wanted to be a lifeguard."},{"startTime":196.0,"endTime":199.0,"body":"So you have to do a 400 meter swim."},{"startTime":199.0,"endTime":200.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":200.0,"endTime":207.0,"body":"And I had to look at the time and I thought I'll just crank it out just on my own and the time limit there was nine minutes."},{"startTime":208.0,"endTime":210.0,"body":"That's going to be easy."},{"startTime":210.0,"endTime":216.0,"body":"So 14 minutes later, I finished and I was like, oh, I've got a lot of work to do here."},{"startTime":216.0,"endTime":219.0,"body":"A very similar kind of story here."},{"startTime":219.0,"endTime":221.0,"body":"So you never swim as a kid?"},{"startTime":221.0,"endTime":224.0,"body":"We had a pool growing up and I swim in the pool."},{"startTime":224.0,"endTime":230.0,"body":"And I can remember at school having to get in the pool and do swimming in a school pool."},{"startTime":230.0,"endTime":236.0,"body":"But I also remember a really bad experience with a school that I went to and we used to go to Lake Pu Puke."},{"startTime":236.0,"endTime":239.0,"body":"And they made us jump off the wall for the swim back through the reeds."},{"startTime":239.0,"endTime":242.0,"body":"And I got caught on the reeds and someone had to pull me out."},{"startTime":242.0,"endTime":248.0,"body":"So anything like that sort of situation, still to this day, excuse me a bit."},{"startTime":248.0,"endTime":250.0,"body":"Yeah, yeah."},{"startTime":250.0,"endTime":259.0,"body":"But I never really got in the sea and I still don't really do a lot of the long distance stuff."},{"startTime":259.0,"endTime":262.0,"body":"But I do love actually being in the water."},{"startTime":262.0,"endTime":265.0,"body":"I love the freedom it gives me out."},{"startTime":265.0,"endTime":269.0,"body":"So as I understand it, you can't have done a whole bunch of things for yourself."},{"startTime":269.0,"endTime":272.0,"body":"But you've also got into coaching as well."},{"startTime":272.0,"endTime":275.0,"body":"Do you want to tell us a little bit about your swim coaching?"},{"startTime":275.0,"endTime":281.0,"body":"Well, after I and man, I wanted a new goal and I had a couple of injuries."},{"startTime":281.0,"endTime":285.0,"body":"And because of the injuries, one of them was to my ankle was pretty severe."},{"startTime":285.0,"endTime":288.0,"body":"And I couldn't exercise for about a year."},{"startTime":288.0,"endTime":292.0,"body":"So then my arthritis got so bad I had to start from scratch."},{"startTime":292.0,"endTime":295.0,"body":"And I've never 100% recovered, unfortunately."},{"startTime":295.0,"endTime":298.0,"body":"The disease I have is progressive."},{"startTime":298.0,"endTime":302.0,"body":"It's there's no cure. It is only going to get worse."},{"startTime":302.0,"endTime":305.0,"body":"And I found I wasn't able to compete as much."},{"startTime":305.0,"endTime":307.0,"body":"I wasn't able to do the races."},{"startTime":307.0,"endTime":309.0,"body":"But I still wanted to be involved."},{"startTime":309.0,"endTime":311.0,"body":"And I had a lot of friends that I was helping."},{"startTime":311.0,"endTime":314.0,"body":"But I wanted to make sure that I was giving them the right advice."},{"startTime":314.0,"endTime":320.0,"body":"And what I was telling them to do wouldn't lead to them beginning injured or anything like that."},{"startTime":320.0,"endTime":325.0,"body":"I had accumulated a lot of knowledge over the years of some really good coaches."},{"startTime":325.0,"endTime":330.0,"body":"And I seem to have a really good rapport with ladies starting out."},{"startTime":330.0,"endTime":335.0,"body":"So I did my coaching stuff get through Triathlon New Zealand."},{"startTime":335.0,"endTime":339.0,"body":"And I've gone on and done quite a few, including the Iron Man U course,"},{"startTime":339.0,"endTime":341.0,"body":"which they've changed the name of now."},{"startTime":341.0,"endTime":345.0,"body":"So I've got quite a few different certificates behind my name now."},{"startTime":346.0,"endTime":352.0,"body":"I coach about a dozen ladies, not even all in Auckland or in the place,"},{"startTime":352.0,"endTime":358.0,"body":"as well as a whole bunch of others that I just coach on a satellite"},{"startTime":358.0,"endTime":361.0,"body":"or at a training session, things like that as well as that."},{"startTime":361.0,"endTime":364.0,"body":"So you coach in the pool and in the ocean?"},{"startTime":364.0,"endTime":367.0,"body":"I don't coach in the pool because the way it's set up in New Zealand,"},{"startTime":367.0,"endTime":372.0,"body":"if you coach in the pool, you have to hire the lane."},{"startTime":372.0,"endTime":377.0,"body":"And it just doesn't work because a lot of ladies like coach don't have a lot of money"},{"startTime":377.0,"endTime":381.0,"body":"to be able to pay for pool, high-age and things like that."},{"startTime":381.0,"endTime":386.0,"body":"But we do do a lot of sessions at Takapuna Beach over the summer in the ocean,"},{"startTime":386.0,"endTime":388.0,"body":"which of course then is free."},{"startTime":388.0,"endTime":390.0,"body":"So yeah, it works."},{"startTime":390.0,"endTime":391.0,"body":"And that's for most of them."},{"startTime":391.0,"endTime":395.0,"body":"That's one thing they love doing is being in the water on a satellite morning."},{"startTime":395.0,"endTime":397.0,"body":"So it's the best place for them."},{"startTime":397.0,"endTime":400.0,"body":"I have seen you with your twisted sister group down there."},{"startTime":400.0,"endTime":401.0,"body":"It's quite impressive."},{"startTime":401.0,"endTime":404.0,"body":"Yeah, you can't help but miss us now because we usually have about 40"},{"startTime":404.0,"endTime":407.0,"body":"and they've all got the season, we've all got the same pink swim caps."},{"startTime":407.0,"endTime":409.0,"body":"So you can't miss us."},{"startTime":409.0,"endTime":412.0,"body":"What is the name of twisted sister's come from?"},{"startTime":412.0,"endTime":418.0,"body":"We had a group that went down and did the Kelly's Women's Try a couple of years ago,"},{"startTime":418.0,"endTime":422.0,"body":"which is in Tarama, run by the Tarama Triathlon Club."},{"startTime":422.0,"endTime":424.0,"body":"We had about seven of us."},{"startTime":424.0,"endTime":429.0,"body":"And while we were down there, we were talking on through a messenger thread."},{"startTime":429.0,"endTime":434.0,"body":"And it was getting really hard to sort of keep track of who was saying what"},{"startTime":434.0,"endTime":439.0,"body":"because the whole thing with a messenger thread is things disappear over time."},{"startTime":439.0,"endTime":440.0,"body":"They get lost."},{"startTime":440.0,"endTime":444.0,"body":"You know, you can be busy at work and suddenly you log on and find people have been chatting"},{"startTime":444.0,"endTime":448.0,"body":"for the last hour and suddenly you've got a million messages to go through."},{"startTime":448.0,"endTime":453.0,"body":"So we sort of said, well, why don't we set up an actual Facebook group and we can chat through that."},{"startTime":453.0,"endTime":455.0,"body":"But then we need a name."},{"startTime":455.0,"endTime":461.0,"body":"And one of the ladies came up with the ideas with twisted sisters."},{"startTime":461.0,"endTime":464.0,"body":"And they're kind of snowballed from there."},{"startTime":464.0,"endTime":466.0,"body":"We've got really 400 on that group now."},{"startTime":466.0,"endTime":467.0,"body":"That's amazing."},{"startTime":467.0,"endTime":469.0,"body":"And that's just in a couple of years, right?"},{"startTime":469.0,"endTime":470.0,"body":"That four five years or something?"},{"startTime":470.0,"endTime":471.0,"body":"Awesome."},{"startTime":471.0,"endTime":472.0,"body":"Make it about 18 months."},{"startTime":472.0,"endTime":473.0,"body":"Oh, wow."},{"startTime":473.0,"endTime":474.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":474.0,"endTime":475.0,"body":"On the Facebook story."},{"startTime":475.0,"endTime":476.0,"body":"Wow."},{"startTime":476.0,"endTime":477.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":477.0,"endTime":478.0,"body":"No, I'm sorry to interrupt."},{"startTime":478.0,"endTime":483.0,"body":"But that obviously shows you the demand for help, right?"},{"startTime":483.0,"endTime":484.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":484.0,"endTime":491.0,"body":"And you mentioned a little bit earlier that your clientele was in a specific way."},{"startTime":491.0,"endTime":492.0,"body":"And I'm quite nervous."},{"startTime":492.0,"endTime":493.0,"body":"I've gone on my head."},{"startTime":493.0,"endTime":496.0,"body":"But it's like they relate to you and they feel comfortable with you."},{"startTime":496.0,"endTime":497.0,"body":"Yes."},{"startTime":497.0,"endTime":498.0,"body":"What are you reckon?"},{"startTime":498.0,"endTime":499.0,"body":"I think because I don't."},{"startTime":499.0,"endTime":503.0,"body":"I think I don't look like the average pro athlete."},{"startTime":503.0,"endTime":504.0,"body":"Yep."},{"startTime":504.0,"endTime":509.0,"body":"I think I just look like the normal regular middle-aged Kiwi lady."},{"startTime":509.0,"endTime":510.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":510.0,"endTime":511.0,"body":"So you're less intimidating?"},{"startTime":511.0,"endTime":512.0,"body":"Yes."},{"startTime":512.0,"endTime":513.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":513.0,"endTime":514.0,"body":"There's hope for us, Duncan."},{"startTime":514.0,"endTime":515.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":515.0,"endTime":521.0,"body":"I think they don't look at me and think, I'm never going to keep up."},{"startTime":521.0,"endTime":522.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":522.0,"endTime":529.0,"body":"I mean, I've the fact that I can do an Iron Man gives them the confidence that they can"},{"startTime":529.0,"endTime":530.0,"body":"go and do what they want to do."},{"startTime":530.0,"endTime":534.0,"body":"Well, whatever, whether it's swim to the boy or go to cable or whatever it is."},{"startTime":534.0,"endTime":535.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":535.0,"endTime":536.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":536.0,"endTime":537.0,"body":"That's fantastic."},{"startTime":537.0,"endTime":538.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":538.0,"endTime":539.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":539.0,"endTime":540.0,"body":"The cable boy swim is end of March."},{"startTime":540.0,"endTime":541.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":541.0,"endTime":544.0,"body":"But last year, didn't you get set you or somebody to help you?"},{"startTime":544.0,"endTime":545.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":545.0,"endTime":549.0,"body":"Set he had the boat and he had another guy, John, on the boat in case of any emergencies."},{"startTime":549.0,"endTime":553.0,"body":"And we were all within radio contact and then we had three groups and..."},{"startTime":553.0,"endTime":555.0,"body":"All women, though, right?"},{"startTime":555.0,"endTime":560.0,"body":"We did have a couple of guys, like my husband and there was another guy, Sean."},{"startTime":560.0,"endTime":566.0,"body":"They were there within the group as a strong swimmer in case you never got to trouble."},{"startTime":566.0,"endTime":569.0,"body":"So we do have guys that come and join us."},{"startTime":569.0,"endTime":572.0,"body":"Like twisted sisters, cousins."},{"startTime":572.0,"endTime":576.0,"body":"It's been all sorts of really funny names."},{"startTime":576.0,"endTime":581.0,"body":"I get told what to do by a twisted sister or something, yeah."},{"startTime":581.0,"endTime":582.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":582.0,"endTime":583.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":583.0,"endTime":588.0,"body":"Because we had a couple of young girls working for us on our boats and they were like,"},{"startTime":588.0,"endTime":593.0,"body":"I mean, we should go and ask if we can help and we can have like an all girls crew looking"},{"startTime":593.0,"endTime":594.0,"body":"after the twisted sisters."},{"startTime":594.0,"endTime":595.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":595.0,"endTime":596.0,"body":"So if you're keen..."},{"startTime":596.0,"endTime":597.0,"body":"Yeah, definitely."},{"startTime":597.0,"endTime":599.0,"body":"You try not to sort out all girls crew."},{"startTime":599.0,"endTime":600.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":600.0,"endTime":602.0,"body":"But if it's not an all girls thing, then..."},{"startTime":602.0,"endTime":604.0,"body":"Now what's the set he said he'll do it?"},{"startTime":604.0,"endTime":607.0,"body":"He said he'll do it again this year, but he's got other commitments and that."},{"startTime":607.0,"endTime":610.0,"body":"So if we can find another boat, it works better."},{"startTime":610.0,"endTime":615.0,"body":"If he does it, I really do think he needs to wear a tutu or something."},{"startTime":615.0,"endTime":618.0,"body":"At least he's got a way or pink, right?"},{"startTime":618.0,"endTime":619.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":619.0,"endTime":620.0,"body":"Careful."},{"startTime":620.0,"endTime":621.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":622.0,"endTime":624.0,"body":"So what's the cable boy's swim?"},{"startTime":624.0,"endTime":626.0,"body":"For those that don't know, obviously."},{"startTime":626.0,"endTime":629.0,"body":"So at Tekapuna, you have the yellow boy line, which is..."},{"startTime":629.0,"endTime":632.0,"body":"It high tide is about 350 metres offshore."},{"startTime":632.0,"endTime":633.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":633.0,"endTime":636.0,"body":"And there's some pink ones as well, but the main boy line is..."},{"startTime":636.0,"endTime":642.0,"body":"It's the five knot boys and it's we are most of your more experienced swimmers swim."},{"startTime":642.0,"endTime":646.0,"body":"They go on off the beach either from where the toilet block is or the boat ramp."},{"startTime":646.0,"endTime":650.0,"body":"They swim out to the first one and there's five boys and then you've got the big cable boy."},{"startTime":650.0,"endTime":656.0,"body":"Which is a big marker where literally there are cables under the ground."},{"startTime":656.0,"endTime":664.0,"body":"So the distance there and back is roughly 3.2, 3.3k, depending on the tides at the time."},{"startTime":664.0,"endTime":667.0,"body":"This is not a race."},{"startTime":667.0,"endTime":671.0,"body":"It is a challenge to be able to swim to cable boy and back."},{"startTime":671.0,"endTime":673.0,"body":"So we have three groups."},{"startTime":673.0,"endTime":675.0,"body":"Each group has 20."},{"startTime":675.0,"endTime":677.0,"body":"The slowest people are in the first group."},{"startTime":677.0,"endTime":682.0,"body":"They go first and then the other two groups, depending on speed."},{"startTime":682.0,"endTime":684.0,"body":"And each group has a couple of kayakers with them."},{"startTime":684.0,"endTime":685.0,"body":"Gotcha."},{"startTime":685.0,"endTime":689.0,"body":"Just to keep an eye on them, to keep them, they have different colors swim caps for each group."},{"startTime":689.0,"endTime":692.0,"body":"So we can keep an eye on each group and make sure they're all fine."},{"startTime":692.0,"endTime":695.0,"body":"And then we have Seti with his boat just keeping an eye on things."},{"startTime":695.0,"endTime":700.0,"body":"So if there's an emergency, he can bring them into shore and we have our first respond on shore."},{"startTime":700.0,"endTime":702.0,"body":"In case there's anything major happens."},{"startTime":702.0,"endTime":703.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":703.0,"endTime":706.0,"body":"And then when they finish, they get a medal."},{"startTime":706.0,"endTime":708.0,"body":"Everyone brings a plate of food."},{"startTime":708.0,"endTime":710.0,"body":"We have a big picnic on the beach."},{"startTime":710.0,"endTime":712.0,"body":"It's just really awesome."},{"startTime":712.0,"endTime":717.0,"body":"And the idea is the challenge is to be able to get to cable boy and back."},{"startTime":717.0,"endTime":722.0,"body":"But if you get part way back and you get really tired, you're only ever at the very outside,"},{"startTime":722.0,"endTime":723.0,"body":"350m offshore."},{"startTime":723.0,"endTime":725.0,"body":"To lift and go to the beach."},{"startTime":725.0,"endTime":726.0,"body":"Yeah, basically."},{"startTime":726.0,"endTime":728.0,"body":"And you've got a kayaker that will take you in."},{"startTime":728.0,"endTime":729.0,"body":"And then you walk down the beach."},{"startTime":729.0,"endTime":730.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":730.0,"endTime":731.0,"body":"And you're still finished."},{"startTime":731.0,"endTime":732.0,"body":"Yes."},{"startTime":732.0,"endTime":736.0,"body":"It's just to me that you've got something awesome going there that is like super social."},{"startTime":736.0,"endTime":739.0,"body":"Because I spoke to Sue, who is playing with you."},{"startTime":739.0,"endTime":745.0,"body":"Sometimes these ladies spend more time chatting at both one and they do swimming there."},{"startTime":745.0,"endTime":747.0,"body":"This Saturday should be interesting."},{"startTime":747.0,"endTime":750.0,"body":"We've got, hopefully, Christmas carols of the boys."},{"startTime":750.0,"endTime":751.0,"body":"Oh, nice."},{"startTime":751.0,"endTime":755.0,"body":"And then we're having a picnic lunch, a picnic breakfast afterwards."},{"startTime":755.0,"endTime":757.0,"body":"So if you're in the area, you should come and join us."},{"startTime":757.0,"endTime":760.0,"body":"Well, yeah, Christmas I'll be out of Auckland."},{"startTime":760.0,"endTime":765.0,"body":"But one year we did a, um, to us in New Year's swim."},{"startTime":765.0,"endTime":766.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":766.0,"endTime":770.0,"body":"And people took a bottle of champagne all the way to the cable boy."},{"startTime":770.0,"endTime":772.0,"body":"I was happy drinking."},{"startTime":772.0,"endTime":775.0,"body":"This is not the senseless thing we've ever done."},{"startTime":775.0,"endTime":777.0,"body":"I don't, I don't think I'd go quite that far."},{"startTime":777.0,"endTime":782.0,"body":"But we did think that if we had a group of boy one and a group of boy two,"},{"startTime":782.0,"endTime":787.0,"body":"we could have a competition to see who could be the loudest and make sure the other group could either."},{"startTime":787.0,"endTime":792.0,"body":"I think that would be, you have to get somebody to be on a kayak and film that."},{"startTime":792.0,"endTime":793.0,"body":"Oh, yeah."},{"startTime":793.0,"endTime":794.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":794.0,"endTime":797.0,"body":"Who carried the champagne bottle too?"},{"startTime":797.0,"endTime":799.0,"body":"Of course it was Roy."},{"startTime":799.0,"endTime":802.0,"body":"Where did he put the bottle while he was swimming?"},{"startTime":802.0,"endTime":804.0,"body":"Like he was in a tow

usually get out to the pink boy first."},{"startTime":903.0,"endTime":905.0,"body":"Then we get them out to the boy two."},{"startTime":905.0,"endTime":909.0,"body":"And then eventually they can go up

easy."},{"startTime":925.0,"endTime":929.0,"body":"Once I get them to that first pink boy."},{"startTime":929.0,"endTime":933.0,"body":"And then usually convince them to get to the yellow one from

it."},{"startTime":1031.0,"endTime":1035.0,"body":"And we also have at least two or three of us usually with first aid kits in the car."},{"startTime":1035.0,"endTime":1039.0,"body":"And of course you've got the DFED but the toilet block and things like that."},{"startTime":1039.0,"endTime":1041.0,"body":"And you're pretty close to the hospital."},{"startTime":1041.0,"endTime":1043.0,"body":"So if there was anything major."},{"startTime":1043.0,"endTime":1045.0,"body":"Do many of your swimmers use toilets?"},{"startTime":1045.0,"endTime":1047.0,"body":"Pretty much all of

boys."},{"startTime":1067.0,"endTime":1069.0,"body":"Yeah, so it's mandatory for that."},{"startTime":1069.0,"endTime":1073.0,"body":"So because most of them did it last year, they have them anyway."},{"startTime":1073.0,"endTime":1075.0,"body":"And those that turn up without one, we've usually got,"},{"startTime":1075.0,"endTime":1077.0,"body":"think at the moment, a good about 10 in the van."},{"startTime":1077.0,"endTime":1079.0,"body":"Just some speeds, yeah."},{"startTime":1079.0,"endTime":1083.0,"body":"Yeah, we get them cheap and then we sell them off basically for cost price."},{"startTime":1083.0,"endTime":1085.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":1085.0,"endTime":1087.0,"body":"So anyone that turns up that once one there's one there, they can buy it

everything."},{"startTime":1093.0,"endTime":1095.0,"body":"A bit of everything."},{"startTime":1095.0,"endTime":1099.0,"body":"We've just, we had a big wetsuit grant about six months

line."},{"startTime":1111.0,"endTime":1115.0,"body":"And I think the 10 ladies, they put their name forward and then we drew them out of a hat."},{"startTime":1115.0,"endTime":1117.0,"body":"Gotcha."},{"startTime":1117.0,"endTime":1119.0,"body":"Obviously there were more than 10 that put their hands up."},{"startTime":1119.0,"endTime":1121.0,"body":"Cool."},{"startTime":1121.0,"endTime":1123.0,"body":"And then I think it ended up costing each of them $82."},{"startTime":1123.0,"endTime":1125.0,"body":"The rest of it was covered by the grant."},{"startTime":1125.0,"endTime":1127.0,"body":"So they each had to contribute a little bit to it."},{"startTime":1127.0,"endTime":1131.0,"body":"And then at the same time, we have what we call a gear library."},{"startTime":1131.0,"endTime":1135.0,"body":"Gear library is usually donated stuff that we have."},{"startTime":1135.0,"endTime":1139.0,"body":"And then like we had a lady last year whose car was broke,"},{"startTime":1139.0,"endTime":1141.0,"body":"was stolen with all the gear in the back, including her wetsuit."},{"startTime":1141.0,"endTime":1147.0,"body":"So we were able to give her a wetsuit to use for season until she get the insurance payout and stuff like that."},{"startTime":1147.0,"endTime":1149.0,"body":"Or you might have someone starting out and they're a bit nervous."},{"startTime":1149.0,"endTime":1151.0,"body":"So it gives them a bit of buoyancy now."},{"startTime":1151.0,"endTime":1155.0,"body":"Well, we've just been given eight wetsuits,"},{"startTime":1155.0,"endTime":1157.0,"body":"brand new through Revell Sport for our gear

website?"},{"startTime":1171.0,"endTime":1173.0,"body":"Anything like that?"},{"startTime":1173.0,"endTime":1175.0,"body":"No, so it is,"},{"startTime":1175.0,"endTime":1177.0,"body":"but we don't

up."},{"startTime":2033.0,"endTime":2034.0,"body":"Nice."},{"startTime":2034.0,"endTime":2037.0,"body":"So what other, I hope I didn't interrupt you,"},{"startTime":2037.0,"endTime":2040.0,"body":"but so there's the Takapuna sort of swimming scenario."},{"startTime":2040.0,"endTime":2041.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2041.0,"endTime":2045.0,"body":"And then there's the triathlon focus, I guess."},{"startTime":2045.0,"endTime":2046.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2046.0,"endTime":2048.0,"body":"Are there any other like events that you train for?"},{"startTime":2048.0,"endTime":2051.0,"body":"Maybe a trail one or a mission from series events?"},{"startTime":2051.0,"endTime":2052.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2052.0,"endTime":2053.0,"body":"I don't know."},{"startTime":2053.0,"endTime":2054.0,"body":"South Island or something."},{"startTime":2054.0,"endTime":2056.0,"body":"We went down and did tarrow era."},{"startTime":2056.0,"endTime":2057.0,"body":"Yes."},{"startTime":2057.0,"endTime":2062.0,"body":"This year, we had a group of about 10 went down."},{"startTime":2062.0,"endTime":2066.0,"body":"Distances between the 21k and the 50."},{"startTime":2066.0,"endTime":2067.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2067.0,"endTime":2068.0,"body":"Which is really cool."},{"startTime":2068.0,"endTime":2071.0,"body":"So we all have accommodation, we stay together."},{"startTime":2071.0,"endTime":2075.0,"body":"We also obviously went down and did Napier on November 1st."},{"startTime":2075.0,"endTime":2077.0,"body":"So that was for most of them."},{"startTime":2077.0,"endTime":2079.0,"body":"That was a really big event."},{"startTime":2079.0,"endTime":2081.0,"body":"Like nothing they have ever done before."},{"startTime":2081.0,"endTime":2083.0,"body":"What was the distance of that one?"},{"startTime":2083.0,"endTime":2090.0,"body":"So the quarter is a 1k swim, 50k on the bike and a 10k run."},{"startTime":2090.0,"endTime":2093.0,"body":"The half is a 70.3."},{"startTime":2093.0,"endTime":2097.0,"body":"So 2k's, 90k's and a half marathon."},{"startTime":2097.0,"endTime":2098.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":2098.0,"endTime":2099.0,"body":"That's big."},{"startTime":2099.0,"endTime":2100.0,"body":"So it is big."},{"startTime":2100.0,"endTime":2102.0,"body":"It's the equivalent of the 70.3 tailpipe."},{"startTime":2102.0,"endTime":2103.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2103.0,"endTime":2106.0,"body":"And for most of them, they had never done anything like that before."},{"startTime":2106.0,"endTime":2109.0,"body":"They might have done, a couple of them had done something,"},{"startTime":2109.0,"endTime":2111.0,"body":"you know, the same thing but smaller."},{"startTime":2111.0,"endTime":2114.0,"body":"None of them had done those sort of distances before."},{"startTime":2114.0,"endTime":2118.0,"body":"So it was really, really cool to see them all finish."},{"startTime":2118.0,"endTime":2121.0,"body":"A couple of us, just, the thing I like about the Iron Married 2"},{"startTime":2121.0,"endTime":2123.0,"body":"is you can go down and just do this one."},{"startTime":2123.0,"endTime":2124.0,"body":"Like it."},{"startTime":2124.0,"endTime":2128.0,"body":"But it was 13 degrees in the water and it looked calm."},{"startTime":2128.0,"endTime":2131.0,"body":"But oh man, there was a current."},{"startTime":2131.0,"endTime":2133.0,"body":"That was not an easy as well."},{"startTime":2133.0,"endTime":2135.0,"body":"That's just pretty cool."},{"startTime":2135.0,"endTime":2136.0,"body":"That's pretty cool."},{"startTime":2136.0,"endTime":2141.0,"body":"And I have a wetsuit that's got short legs and no arms."},{"startTime":2141.0,"endTime":2146.0,"body":"I regretted my choice with my wetsuit."},{"startTime":2146.0,"endTime":2148.0,"body":"But we also have people do other things."},{"startTime":2148.0,"endTime":2149.0,"body":"We had a couple."},{"startTime":2149.0,"endTime":2151.0,"body":"We did the tapo cycle challenge."},{"startTime":2151.0,"endTime":2155.0,"body":"So all sorts of various different bits and pieces."},{"startTime":2155.0,"endTime":2156.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2156.0,"endTime":2157.0,"body":"Just depends."},{"startTime":2157.0,"endTime":2161.0,"body":"And often there will be people say, oh look, I'm going to go and do this."},{"startTime":2161.0,"endTime":2162.0,"body":"Does anyone want to come and do it with me?"},{"startTime":2162.0,"endTime":2164.0,"body":"And then they'll have a cup of people to do it with."},{"startTime":2164.0,"endTime":2165.0,"body":"Which is really cool."},{"startTime":2165.0,"endTime":2166.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2166.0,"endTime":2167.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2167.0,"endTime":2170.0,"body":"There's a fair number of sort of events around the country."},{"startTime":2170.0,"endTime":2171.0,"body":"There are."},{"startTime":2171.0,"endTime":2174.0,"body":"And sometimes just by learning about them and having somebody to go with."},{"startTime":2174.0,"endTime":2175.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2175.0,"endTime":2177.0,"body":"There's not just the events too."},{"startTime":2177.0,"endTime":2182.0,"body":"Like we had a group of seven years that I did a trail hike."},{"startTime":2182.0,"endTime":2185.0,"body":"Up in the white eggs."},{"startTime":2185.0,"endTime":2187.0,"body":"About nine and a half k's."},{"startTime":2187.0,"endTime":2189.0,"body":"Lots of stairs."},{"startTime":2189.0,"endTime":2191.0,"body":"And you end up at the dam."},{"startTime":2191.0,"endTime":2192.0,"body":"The white battery dam."},{"startTime":2192.0,"endTime":2193.0,"body":"It's a loop."},{"startTime":2193.0,"endTime":2195.0,"body":"So that was our first one of those."},{"startTime":2195.0,"endTime":2197.0,"body":"We're going to be doing them once a month."},{"startTime":2197.0,"endTime":2199.0,"body":"We've got a lady that's going to lead them."},{"startTime":2199.0,"endTime":2201.0,"body":"We also often ride on a Sunday."},{"startTime":2201.0,"endTime":2202.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2202.0,"endTime":2203.0,"body":"So we take groups."},{"startTime":2203.0,"endTime":2206.0,"body":"We've been getting 12 to 15 on the rides now."},{"startTime":2206.0,"endTime":2209.0,"body":"So the ride numbers are growing really well."},{"startTime":2209.0,"endTime":2212.0,"body":"So a group of us go down and do the pigeon run."},{"startTime":2212.0,"endTime":2215.0,"body":"Which is in St Hallears on a Wednesday night."},{"startTime":2215.0,"endTime":2217.0,"body":"Which is a three five k run."},{"startTime":2217.0,"endTime":2219.0,"body":"It's based."},{"startTime":2219.0,"endTime":2222.0,"body":"It's run by the guy that owns the pigeon club across the road."},{"startTime":2222.0,"endTime":2224.0,"body":"At the fire end is St Hallears."},{"startTime":2224.0,"endTime":2227.0,"body":"And it starts with a little playgrounders and goes through a mission bay back."},{"startTime":2227.0,"endTime":2230.0,"body":"So that's a really nice social group."},{"startTime":2230.0,"endTime":2234.0,"body":"So rather than creating our own run, we go and do this."},{"startTime":2234.0,"endTime":2236.0,"body":"Because there's lots and lots of runs."},{"startTime":2236.0,"endTime":2237.0,"body":"So I create another one."},{"startTime":2237.0,"endTime":2238.0,"body":"Sure."},{"startTime":2238.0,"endTime":2243.0,"body":"So we try to utilize a whole bunch of different bits and pieces."},{"startTime":2243.0,"endTime":2248.0,"body":"And we try to give most of our members a range of things they can do."},{"startTime":2248.0,"endTime":2252.0,"body":"And just so that there's because not everyone swims."},{"startTime":2252.0,"endTime":2253.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2253.0,"endTime":2255.0,"body":"But not everyone runs with a triathlon."},{"startTime":2255.0,"endTime":2259.0,"body":"So it's creating a range of things that they can be more active."},{"startTime":2259.0,"endTime":2261.0,"body":"You must be super busy."},{"startTime":2261.0,"endTime":2264.0,"body":"I'm about to say just a second."},{"startTime":2264.0,"endTime":2266.0,"body":"I am at the moment."},{"startTime":2266.0,"endTime":2268.0,"body":"In fact, I woke up a few days ago thinking,"},{"startTime":2268.0,"endTime":2270.0,"body":"oh no, I've missed the interview on Monday."},{"startTime":2270.0,"endTime":2273.0,"body":"And then I realized, no, it's the coming Monday."},{"startTime":2273.0,"endTime":2275.0,"body":"Well, we just got super busy."},{"startTime":2275.0,"endTime":2279.0,"body":"You might have heard of the swim, swim for live ocean."},{"startTime":2279.0,"endTime":2281.0,"body":"Yes, I think I did."},{"startTime":2281.0,"endTime":2284.0,"body":"Yeah, so we're helping on the logistics and water safety side."},{"startTime":2284.0,"endTime":2285.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2285.0,"endTime":2286.0,"body":"On that one."},{"startTime":2286.0,"endTime":2287.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2287.0,"endTime":2291.0,"body":"Everything got a bit quiet from us from all because Jesus just be so busy."},{"startTime":2291.0,"endTime":2292.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2292.0,"endTime":2296.0,"body":"It reminds me, I'm going to finalise the health and safety plans for our swim event."},{"startTime":2296.0,"endTime":2297.0,"body":"Yes."},{"startTime":2297.0,"endTime":2298.0,"body":"We're getting them submitted."},{"startTime":2298.0,"endTime":2300.0,"body":"We need to say that in March, yeah?"},{"startTime":2300.0,"endTime":2302.0,"body":"Yeah, that's March 22nd, I think it's a Sunday."},{"startTime":2302.0,"endTime":2303.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":2303.0,"endTime":2305.0,"body":"Is that for the council?"},{"startTime":2305.0,"endTime":2309.0,"body":"No, actually, because we follow the yellow boillines, we don't need anything council."},{"startTime":2309.0,"endTime":2310.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":2310.0,"endTime":2315.0,"body":"We've actually contacted them last year and they said, no, you don't require any council permits."},{"startTime":2316.0,"endTime":2319.0,"body":"We're on the beach rather than on the green field."},{"startTime":2319.0,"endTime":2323.0,"body":"So we're not actually having to normally that space."},{"startTime":2323.0,"endTime":2326.0,"body":"Yeah, so normally that field you would have to hire it basically."},{"startTime":2326.0,"endTime":2327.0,"body":"It doesn't cost anything."},{"startTime":2327.0,"endTime":2329.0,"body":"You've got to reserve it."},{"startTime":2329.0,"endTime":2330.0,"body":"We're more on the beach."},{"startTime":2330.0,"endTime":2332.0,"body":"We don't need that."},{"startTime":2332.0,"endTime":2337.0,"body":"We're not affecting boat traffic because we're only at the yellow boys."},{"startTime":2337.0,"endTime":2338.0,"body":"And it's not a race."},{"startTime":2338.0,"endTime":2340.0,"body":"There's no timing or anything like that."},{"startTime":2340.0,"endTime":2341.0,"body":"Yes."},{"startTime":2341.0,"endTime":2344.0,"body":"So we actually don't need any of the stuff that we're doing, but we do it anyway."},{"startTime":2345.0,"endTime":2347.0,"body":"Just for your own self, yeah."},{"startTime":2347.0,"endTime":2348.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2348.0,"endTime":2352.0,"body":"Our club, who is a nurse, and she's also a St. John's youth cadet."},{"startTime":2352.0,"endTime":2354.0,"body":"So she's used to health and safety."},{"startTime":2354.0,"endTime":2358.0,"body":"In fact, two of them on our committee are youth cadets, so with St. John's."},{"startTime":2358.0,"endTime":2363.0,"body":"So we have a lot of safety protocols just to be on the safe side."},{"startTime":2363.0,"endTime":2364.0,"body":"Yeah, absolutely."},{"startTime":2364.0,"endTime":2365.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2365.0,"endTime":2370.0,"body":"And with Trians, they handle all of our indemnity insurance for our events."},{"startTime":2370.0,"endTime":2373.0,"body":"For the bigger events, not the training sessions."},{"startTime":2373.0,"endTime":2376.0,"body":"So that's one of the requirements as we have to lodge everything with them."},{"startTime":2376.0,"endTime":2380.0,"body":"And then they just check it over and make sure it's all good."},{"startTime":2380.0,"endTime":2381.0,"body":"Two things."},{"startTime":2381.0,"endTime":2382.0,"body":"Blockies."},{"startTime":2382.0,"endTime":2383.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":2383.0,"endTime":2388.0,"body":"So we're going to offer twisted sisters a figure out the logistics."},{"startTime":2388.0,"endTime":2392.0,"body":"We do marathon support around Rangitoto Island."},{"startTime":2392.0,"endTime":2394.0,"body":"For example, or across Lake Topal."},{"startTime":2394.0,"endTime":2395.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2395.0,"endTime":2396.0,"body":"Let's do a relay."},{"startTime":2396.0,"endTime":2398.0,"body":"You put together a team."},{"startTime":2398.0,"endTime":2400.0,"body":"A relay around Rangitoto."},{"startTime":2400.0,"endTime":2402.0,"body":"Either Rangitoto or Lake Topal."},{"startTime":2402.0,"endTime":2404.0,"body":"You tell us how many sores you want."},{"startTime":2404.0,"endTime":2407.0,"body":"We'll tell you how many we can put on the bugs, how much support we need."},{"startTime":2407.0,"endTime":2408.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":2408.0,"endTime":2410.0,"body":"So Rangitoto is about 20k's."},{"startTime":2410.0,"endTime":2411.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2411.0,"endTime":2412.0,"body":"Topal's double net."},{"startTime":2412.0,"endTime":2413.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2413.0,"endTime":2417.0,"body":"No, I think we'd stick with Rangitoto to start with because it's also an area they're used to."},{"startTime":2417.0,"endTime":2418.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2418.0,"endTime":2420.0,"body":"How many swimmers would you..."},{"startTime":2420.0,"endTime":2422.0,"body":"What sort of distance would they make up?"},{"startTime":2422.0,"endTime":2424.0,"body":"Well, so normally..."},{"startTime":2424.0,"endTime":2430.0,"body":"I mean, again, there should be getting people involved in the sports scenario."},{"startTime":2430.0,"endTime":2435.0,"body":"But normally the rules, like if you're following like English-Ten or rules or something like that,"},{"startTime":2435.0,"endTime":2437.0,"body":"it's an hour on and an hour off."},{"startTime":2437.0,"endTime":2440.0,"body":"So that's generally like four people."},{"startTime":2440.0,"endTime":2447.0,"body":"But I think, you know, considering you've got some guys that are new to drop ocean swimming"},{"startTime":2447.0,"endTime":2453.0,"body":"and potentially swimming lesser distances, I would probably say about eight or so."},{"startTime":2453.0,"endTime":2459.0,"body":"So the boat that you can see outside, we can easily put 10 to 12 people on the boat."},{"startTime":2459.0,"endTime":2460.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2460.0,"endTime":2463.0,"body":"So, you know, it just gives you kind of options."},{"startTime":2463.0,"endTime":2466.0,"body":"And, you know, it's up to, you know, some half an hour at a time."},{"startTime":2466.0,"endTime":2468.0,"body":"20 minutes at a time, doesn't it?"},{"startTime":2468.0,"endTime":2469.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2469.0,"endTime":2470.0,"body":"Doesn't really..."},{"startTime":2470.0,"endTime":2473.0,"body":"So the boat just goes along on their swimming next to the boat, yeah?"},{"startTime":2473.0,"endTime":2474.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2474.0,"endTime":2476.0,"body":"So one swimming or water at a time?"},{"startTime":2476.0,"endTime":2477.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":2477.0,"endTime":2478.0,"body":"And then..."},{"startTime":2478.0,"endTime":2480.0,"body":"And then they could, that swim, they can just say, yeah, I've had enough."},{"startTime":2480.0,"endTime":2481.0,"body":"Yeah, I've had enough."},{"startTime":2481.0,"endTime":2483.0,"body":"Or we can make a, you know, we can..."},{"startTime":2483.0,"endTime":2486.0,"body":"We can say, like you said, we can do every 20 minutes."},{"startTime":2487.0,"endTime":2489.0,"body":"So it's always good to have a plan."},{"startTime":2489.0,"endTime":2492.0,"body":"As long as you realise that the plan's going to change."},{"startTime":2492.0,"endTime":2493.0,"body":"Oh, yeah."},{"startTime":2493.0,"endTime":2496.0,"body":"So, yeah, it's just something to..."},{"startTime":2496.0,"endTime":2497.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2497.0,"endTime":2498.0,"body":"It's a really fun day off."},{"startTime":2498.0,"endTime":2499.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2499.0,"endTime":2500.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2500.0,"endTime":2501.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":2501.0,"endTime":2502.0,"body":"That sounds like fun."},{"startTime":2502.0,"endTime":2504.0,"body":"But only if we can get a trusted sister."},{"startTime":2504.0,"endTime":2505.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":2505.0,"endTime":2506.0,"body":"Oh, definitely."},{"startTime":2506.0,"endTime":2509.0,"body":"Because we did something."},{"startTime":2511.0,"endTime":2512.0,"body":"Yeah, that would be very cool."},{"startTime":2512.0,"endTime":2513.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2514.0,"endTime":2517.0,"body":"Another group of women that you've probably come across,"},{"startTime":2517.0,"endTime":2520.0,"body":"they call themselves the iron aunties."},{"startTime":2520.0,"endTime":2521.0,"body":"Yes, I have to go there."},{"startTime":2521.0,"endTime":2522.0,"body":"And you have the iron aunties."},{"startTime":2522.0,"endTime":2525.0,"body":"So we were actually friends with Woody."},{"startTime":2525.0,"endTime":2526.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2526.0,"endTime":2528.0,"body":"And it's Woody's sisters and aunties."},{"startTime":2528.0,"endTime":2535.0,"body":"And it's a bunch of Maori women that have a similar sort of approach"},{"startTime":2535.0,"endTime":2542.0,"body":"in that they put themselves into an uncomfortable challenge."},{"startTime":2542.0,"endTime":2543.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2543.0,"endTime":2544.0,"body":"And keep themselves going."},{"startTime":2544.0,"endTime":2546.0,"body":"And they're sort of really themselves up."},{"startTime":2546.0,"endTime":2548.0,"body":"You know, they'll be like two of them all up."},{"startTime":2548.0,"endTime":2549.0,"body":"Okay, we're going to do this."},{"startTime":2549.0,"endTime":2553.0,"body":"But then they get like another six or seven girls wrapped in."},{"startTime":2553.0,"endTime":2554.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2554.0,"endTime":2558.0,"body":"I've been trying to get them to do any as well."},{"startTime":2558.0,"endTime":2563.0,"body":"Just in the interest of supporting the sport and getting people in there."},{"startTime":2563.0,"endTime":2564.0,"body":"Because it's..."},{"startTime":2564.0,"endTime":2566.0,"body":"I'm going to go home and tell my husband about this."},{"startTime":2566.0,"endTime":2568.0,"body":"And he's going to be so generous."},{"startTime":2568.0,"endTime":2571.0,"body":"You can come and support."},{"startTime":2571.0,"endTime":2574.0,"body":"And he wants to do the cook straight crossing."},{"startTime":2574.0,"endTime":2575.0,"body":"Oh, nice."},{"startTime":2575.0,"endTime":2577.0,"body":"That's a big swim there, though."},{"startTime":2577.0,"endTime":2578.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2578.0,"endTime":2579.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2579.0,"endTime":2582.0,"body":"That's a bit of a technicality involved with that time, yeah."},{"startTime":2582.0,"endTime":2583.0,"body":"Oh, yeah."},{"startTime":2583.0,"endTime":2584.0,"body":"Oh, that's..."},{"startTime":2584.0,"endTime":2585.0,"body":"Yeah, that's so tough."},{"startTime":2585.0,"endTime":2586.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2586.0,"endTime":2588.0,"body":"Wow."},{"startTime":2588.0,"endTime":2590.0,"body":"Well, tell us about your husband."},{"startTime":2590.0,"endTime":2591.0,"body":"What else does he do?"},{"startTime":2591.0,"endTime":2593.0,"body":"He sounds like he does anything as well, yeah."},{"startTime":2593.0,"endTime":2595.0,"body":"He has mine in."},{"startTime":2595.0,"endTime":2600.0,"body":"He did his first triathlon when I did my first one."},{"startTime":2600.0,"endTime":2601.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":2601.0,"endTime":2605.0,"body":"We both went down into the banana boat swimmer in

ever."},{"startTime":2610.0,"endTime":2612.0,"body":"And I did 300 metres."},{"startTime":2612.0,"endTime":2617.0,"body":"And for some reason, I don't think I understood the difference between a tri suit and a wet suit."},{"startTime":2617.0,"endTime":2621.0,"body":"And for some reason, I decided to be warm enough to do it in my tri suit."},{"startTime":2621.0,"endTime":2622.0,"body":"No, buoyancy."},{"startTime":2622.0,"endTime":2623.0,"body":"No, I know."},{"startTime":2623.0,"endTime":2626.0,"body":"It wasn't so much that because the arthritis affects my ribcage."},{"startTime":2626.0,"endTime":2627.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":2627.0,"endTime":2628.0,"body":"Oh, that's so tough."},{"startTime":2628.0,"endTime":2631.0,"body":"If I get really cold, I can't move my ribs."},{"startTime":2631.0,"endTime":2633.0,"body":"And then I can't inflate my lungs."},{"startTime":2633.0,"endTime":2636.8,"body":"So at the time I got out of the water, which I had to doggy paddle it, which I was not in"},{"startTime":2636.8,"endTime":2641.0,"body":"rest with, I was weezing really bad and I had really bad chest pain."},{"startTime":2641.0,"endTime":2646.0,"body":"So I got cleared by the ambulance there."},{"startTime":2646.0,"endTime":2648.0,"body":"It's called Kostro Kondroitus."},{"startTime":2648.0,"endTime":2650.0,"body":"And it can be quite painful."},{"startTime":2650.0,"endTime":2655.0,"body":"And then my GP cleared me, but he said, I had to see a cardiologist, which I did."},{"startTime":2655.0,"endTime":2657.0,"body":"I got all the clearance for it."},{"startTime":2657.0,"endTime":2660.0,"body":"And then I said to my husband, look, would you do it alongside me just to make sure"},{"startTime":2660.0,"endTime":2662.0,"body":"a case is an issue."},{"startTime":2662.0,"endTime":2667.0,"body":"So he did the first one and I'm swimming and he's swimming out to sea because he's bored."},{"startTime":2667.0,"endTime":2671.0,"body":"I told the lifeguard to go on the boat turn around and then go back."},{"startTime":2671.0,"endTime":2675.0,"body":"And then he was talking to me on the bike and I got upset and swore at him."},{"startTime":2675.0,"endTime":2678.0,"body":"So he left me alone."},{"startTime":2678.0,"endTime":2681.0,"body":"So his first one wasn't very good."},{"startTime":2681.0,"endTime":2685.0,"body":"And at that point, he had done the hub across and he was doing a long distance swimming."},{"startTime":2685.0,"endTime":2686.0,"body":"So you're going to do another one."},{"startTime":2686.0,"endTime":2690.0,"body":"He goes, no, I'm going to stick to my long distance, ocean swimming."},{"startTime":2690.0,"endTime":2691.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":2691.0,"endTime":2696.0,"body":"Next thing I know, he'd signed up for Iron Man and I'm like, what is Iron Man?"},{"startTime":2696.0,"endTime":2698.0,"body":"So and he's been doing them ever since."},{"startTime":2698.0,"endTime":2700.0,"body":"He really, really wants to get to Kona."},{"startTime":2700.0,"endTime":2701.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":2701.0,"endTime":2703.0,"body":"Yeah, but he did do the cycle challenge a few weeks ago."},{"startTime":2703.0,"endTime":2705.0,"body":"I mean, that was his first time doing that."},{"startTime":2705.0,"endTime":2711.0,"body":"And he went to Bolton last year and did the last of the full Iron Man in Bolton."},{"startTime":2711.0,"endTime":2712.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":2712.0,"endTime":2714.0,"body":"He's got family over there."},{"startTime":2714.0,"endTime":2718.0,"body":"So yeah, he's, and he's done lots of marathons and bits and pieces like that."},{"startTime":2718.0,"endTime":2722.0,"body":"So I don't think there's a day he doesn't train anymore."},{"startTime":2722.0,"endTime":2723.0,"body":"Nice."},{"startTime":2723.0,"endTime":2724.0,"body":"That's cool."},{"startTime":2724.0,"endTime":2725.0,"body":"That's very good."},{"startTime":2725.0,"endTime":2730.0,"body":"So he finished Iron Man the same, like the year I did it, he finished as well."},{"startTime":2730.0,"endTime":2731.0,"body":"And yeah."},{"startTime":2731.0,"endTime":2735.0,"body":"So he was, he was there at the finish line when I was awesome."},{"startTime":2735.0,"endTime":2739.0,"body":"I had a group of about seven or eight people running with me on the last,"},{"startTime":2739.0,"endTime":2743.0,"body":"but because I was one of the last ones, they give you lots of extra support that you don't know yet."},{"startTime":2743.0,"endTime":2748.0,"body":"Including one of the volunteers riding his bike with my special needs,"},{"startTime":2748.0,"endTime":2750.0,"body":"which should have been back on the tent in his hand."},{"startTime":2750.0,"endTime":2752.0,"body":"So he'd give me anything I needed."},{"startTime":2752.0,"endTime":2753.0,"body":"They just want you to finish."},{"startTime":2753.0,"endTime":2757.0,"body":"And yeah, he was, he was there for the end."},{"startTime":2757.0,"endTime":2763.0,"body":"Along with my, my parents and our daughter and he was a lady running next to me."},{"startTime":2763.0,"endTime":2767.0,"body":"He was about seven months pregnant that I had trained with."},{"startTime":2767.0,"endTime":2769.0,"body":"But it was actually quite, quite funny."},{"startTime":2769.0,"endTime":2770.0,"body":"But yeah."},{"startTime":2771.0,"endTime":2774.0,"body":"Just to see you do the finish, I'm hoping she doesn't do the whole thing."},{"startTime":2774.0,"endTime":2775.0,"body":"No, no, no."},{"startTime":2775.0,"endTime":2777.0,"body":"That's a special, special event that time."},{"startTime":2777.0,"endTime":2778.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2778.0,"endTime":2780.0,"body":"So, um, but he's, he's carried on and done them ever since."},{"startTime":2780.0,"endTime":2782.0,"body":"That's not a cheap event either, right?"},{"startTime":2782.0,"endTime":2783.0,"body":"No."},{"startTime":2783.0,"endTime":2785.0,"body":"No, it is not."},{"startTime":2785.0,"endTime":2787.0,"body":"Besides the bike and all the caretakers."},{"startTime":2787.0,"endTime":2788.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2788.0,"endTime":2789.0,"body":"He's basically done enough now."},{"startTime":2789.0,"endTime":2792.0,"body":"He's done his 12 so that that means he can go to Kona."},{"startTime":2792.0,"endTime":2793.0,"body":"Yes."},{"startTime":2793.0,"endTime":2795.0,"body":"But that's even more expensive."},{"startTime":2795.0,"endTime":2796.0,"body":"But yeah, it's, it's a great."},{"startTime":2796.0,"endTime":2799.0,"body":"Well, how does the 12, what is that rule?"},{"startTime":2799.0,"endTime":2800.0,"body":"Man, man."},{"startTime":2800.0,"endTime":2805.0,"body":"Well, if you do 12, complete 12, I mean, they will give you what they call a legacy slot."},{"startTime":2805.0,"endTime":2806.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":2806.0,"endTime":2809.0,"body":"So it's the last wave and it's people that are qualified under the legacy."},{"startTime":2809.0,"endTime":2810.0,"body":"Oh."},{"startTime":2810.0,"endTime":2813.0,"body":"So normally you've got to do it within a certain time."},{"startTime":2813.0,"endTime":2818.0,"body":"Um, and he is in his 60s and to qualify, he would have to go like 10 hours."},{"startTime":2818.0,"endTime":2819.0,"body":"Yeah, yeah."},{"startTime":2819.0,"endTime":2820.0,"body":"Which is insane."},{"startTime":2820.0,"endTime":2821.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2821.0,"endTime":2823.0,"body":"There's some amazing, you've fed all the people, right?"},{"startTime":2823.0,"endTime":2824.0,"body":"You know, you know what it is."},{"startTime":2824.0,"endTime":2828.0,"body":"A lot of the, a lot of the, um, pros, I think they just be going normal, go as normal."},{"startTime":2829.0,"endTime":2830.0,"body":"Age group athletes."},{"startTime":2830.0,"endTime":2831.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2831.0,"endTime":2832.0,"body":"And they fall into that category."},{"startTime":2832.0,"endTime":2833.0,"body":"Yeah, yeah."},{"startTime":2833.0,"endTime":2834.0,"body":"I swear that's what it is."},{"startTime":2834.0,"endTime":2835.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2835.0,"endTime":2836.0,"body":"But yeah."},{"startTime":2836.0,"endTime":2837.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2837.0,"endTime":2841.0,"body":"That, that, my age group and his age group would be two of the most competitive."},{"startTime":2841.0,"endTime":2842.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2842.0,"endTime":2846.0,"body":"I've always thought, because I, I don't do many of this from races."},{"startTime":2846.0,"endTime":2853.0,"body":"But I, every, no, then I think the only way I'm actually going to win is just by being the last one alive."},{"startTime":2853.0,"endTime":2854.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":2854.0,"endTime":2859.0,"body":"So you get to the next age group and the people who beat you five years ago are still there."},{"startTime":2859.0,"endTime":2862.0,"body":"And they're still walking you out."},{"startTime":2862.0,"endTime":2863.0,"body":"Yes."},{"startTime":2863.0,"endTime":2865.0,"body":"I and Mary, I, I wasn't very well."},{"startTime":2865.0,"endTime":2869.0,"body":"I was supposed to do the half, um, and I, and me very well at all."},{"startTime":2869.0,"endTime":2874.0,"body":"And I got hold of them and they said, look, you can either get a team,"},{"startTime":2874.0,"endTime":2878.0,"body":"which we didn't have enough accommodation for the crew members."},{"startTime":2878.0,"endTime":2881.0,"body":"Or you could just do this one, which was two K."},{"startTime":2881.0,"endTime":2883.0,"body":"I said, okay, I'll just do this one."},{"startTime":2883.0,"endTime":2885.0,"body":"So that way I still get my shirt."},{"startTime":2885.0,"endTime":2886.0,"body":"I'm still there."},{"startTime":2886.0,"endTime":2890.0,"body":"And then also when I'm finished, I can be there for the rest of my athletes in the coaching."},{"startTime":2890.0,"endTime":2891.0,"body":"Sweet."},{"startTime":2891.0,"endTime":2892.0,"body":"No problem."},{"startTime":2892.0,"endTime":2893.0,"body":"I really didn't want to do it."},{"startTime":2893.0,"endTime":2894.0,"body":"I didn't know why."},{"startTime":2894.0,"endTime":2897.0,"body":"And it turned out I was actually sick as a dog when I came home."},{"startTime":2897.0,"endTime":2899.0,"body":"Which will be why."},{"startTime":2899.0,"endTime":2902.0,"body":"But I got in the water and as I said, it was 13 degrees."},{"startTime":2902.0,"endTime":2903.0,"body":"I was freezing cold."},{"startTime":2903.0,"endTime":2905.0,"body":"I was really struggling."},{"startTime":2905.0,"endTime":2907.0,"body":"I couldn't get my rib cage to move."},{"startTime":2907.0,"endTime":2908.0,"body":"So I couldn't breathe."},{"startTime":2908.0,"endTime":2909.0,"body":"And that then settled."},{"startTime":2909.0,"endTime":2911.0,"body":"Um, but I was having a lot of pain in one hip."},{"startTime":2911.0,"endTime":2913.0,"body":"And that just wouldn't go away."},{"startTime":2913.0,"endTime":2915.0,"body":"And there was a massive current."},{"startTime":2915.0,"endTime":2918.0,"body":"So it's a big square going clockwise."},{"startTime":2918.0,"endTime":2922.0,"body":"And when you swim down towards the, um, the wolf."},{"startTime":2922.0,"endTime":2924.0,"body":"And then you had to go in towards shore."},{"startTime":2924.0,"endTime":2925.0,"body":"And I was getting pushed into shore."},{"startTime":2925.0,"endTime":2929.0,"body":"And at one point I was swimming at a 45 degree angle to try and get back."},{"startTime":2929.0,"endTime":2931.0,"body":"And I was not getting anywhere."},{"startTime":2931.0,"endTime":2935.0,"body":"And I got to the end of the first lap, supposed to do the second lap going right."},{"startTime":2935.0,"endTime":2936.0,"body":"That's it."},{"startTime":2936.0,"endTime":2937.0,"body":"I'm done."},{"startTime":2937.0,"endTime":2938.0,"body":"I'm out of here."},{"startTime":2938.0,"endTime":2939.0,"body":"I'm over this."},{"startTime":2939.0,"endTime":2940.0,"body":"I'm just not going to finish it."},{"startTime":2940.0,"endTime":2943.0,"body":"And then there was a guy floating on his back."},{"startTime":2943.0,"endTime":2945.0,"body":"And he went to do the second lap."},{"startTime":2945.0,"endTime":2947.0,"body":"And I'm like, that's really unfair."},{"startTime":2947.0,"endTime":2948.0,"body":"He can carry on."},{"startTime":2948.0,"endTime":2950.0,"body":"I can definitely carry on."},{"startTime":2950.0,"endTime":2953.0,"body":"So with a whole lap, there was him and a lady behind him."},{"startTime":2953.0,"endTime":2956.0,"body":"And every time I'd get to the boy, I'd call out to both of them."},{"startTime":2956.0,"endTime":2957.0,"body":"Come on, you can do it."},{"startTime":2957.0,"endTime":2958.0,"body":"You can do it."},{"startTime":2958.0,"endTime":2960.0,"body":"So I was encouraging them to keep going."},{"startTime":2960.0,"endTime":2961.0,"body":"I got out of the swim."},{"startTime":2961.0,"endTime":2963.0,"body":"My daughter-in-law who did the one-case swim."},{"startTime":2963.0,"endTime":2964.0,"body":"She was there waiting for me."},{"startTime":2964.0,"endTime":2966.0,"body":"She goes, thank God you finished."},{"startTime":2966.0,"endTime":2968.0,"body":"She goes, you were the only one in the 2k."},{"startTime":2968.0,"endTime":2970.0,"body":"You automatically win because you finished."},{"startTime":2970.0,"endTime":2972.0,"body":"Oh, yes."},{"startTime":2972.0,"endTime":2975.0,"body":"And I would have been gouted if I could have had that half of it."},{"startTime":2975.0,"endTime":2978.0,"body":"So I got this big trophy here."},{"startTime":2978.0,"endTime":2979.0,"body":"That's cool."},{"startTime":2979.0,"endTime":2981.0,"body":"Because I was the only one doing the 2k swim."},{"startTime":2981.0,"endTime":2982.0,"body":"Super cool."},{"startTime":2982.0,"endTime":2983.0,"body":"Oh no, it's lovely."},{"startTime":2983.0,"endTime":2988.0,"body":"Do you find there's a big difference between the ocean and a lake?"},{"startTime":2988.0,"endTime":2989.0,"body":"Definitely."},{"startTime":2989.0,"endTime":2991.0,"body":"Lakin' on his buoyant."},{"startTime":2991.0,"endTime":2994.0,"body":"For me, the first cup of swimmers on the lake, I'm a lot slower."},{"startTime":2994.0,"endTime":2997.0,"body":"And I find it get tired a bit more easier."},{"startTime":2998.0,"endTime":3000.0,"body":"It's just like thicker water almost."},{"startTime":3000.0,"endTime":3001.0,"body":"Yeah, yeah."},{"startTime":3001.0,"endTime":3002.0,"body":"You've got to work harder for it."},{"startTime":3002.0,"endTime":3004.0,"body":"I think you've got a better technique in all that."},{"startTime":3004.0,"endTime":3005.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":3005.0,"endTime":3008.0,"body":"Well, that's what I found with me anyway."},{"startTime":3008.0,"endTime":3010.0,"body":"Down in Lake Tellpro and that."},{"startTime":3010.0,"endTime":3011.0,"body":"I love swimming there."},{"startTime":3011.0,"endTime":3012.0,"body":"You can be swimming along."},{"startTime":3012.0,"endTime":3014.0,"body":"You're looking down the bottom, going,"},{"startTime":3014.0,"endTime":3016.0,"body":"why is there a miniature golf pool?"},{"startTime":3016.0,"endTime":3018.0,"body":"You put miniature golf pools in there."},{"startTime":3018.0,"endTime":3020.0,"body":"And then you realise they're not miniature."},{"startTime":3020.0,"endTime":3021.0,"body":"They're just 20 metres down."},{"startTime":3021.0,"endTime":3022.0,"body":"They're tiny."},{"startTime":3022.0,"endTime":3025.0,"body":"I saw a swim cap."},{"startTime":3025.0,"endTime":3028.0,"body":"And it was literally the size of my big thumbnail."},{"startTime":3028.0,"endTime":3029.0,"body":"That's how deep it was."},{"startTime":3029.0,"endTime":3030.0,"body":"20 metres deep."},{"startTime":3030.0,"endTime":3031.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":3031.0,"endTime":3032.0,"body":"And it's so clear."},{"startTime":3032.0,"endTime":3035.0,"body":"And if you get thirsty, will you just open your mouth and everything?"},{"startTime":3035.0,"endTime":3036.0,"body":"That's great."},{"startTime":3036.0,"endTime":3037.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":3037.0,"endTime":3038.0,"body":"Just make sure you're not behind someone."},{"startTime":3038.0,"endTime":3039.0,"body":"Yeah, yeah."},{"startTime":3039.0,"endTime":3042.0,"body":"It's going to say, you're going to do that on eye-made day."},{"startTime":3042.0,"endTime":3046.0,"body":"So, you know, when you get out of a swim race"},{"startTime":3046.0,"endTime":3048.0,"body":"and you run up the beach or whatever it is,"},{"startTime":3048.0,"endTime":3052.0,"body":"and generally, they've got those mats."},{"startTime":3052.0,"endTime":3053.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":3053.0,"endTime":3057.0,"body":"On the arches with the Thomas the People."},{"startTime":3057.0,"endTime":3061.0,"body":"Now, I've been involved with a lot of these events."},{"startTime":3061.0,"endTime":3064.0,"body":"We helped pack things up afterwards."},{"startTime":3064.0,"endTime":3067.0,"body":"Now, if you could imagine all the guys swimming in their witsuits."},{"startTime":3067.0,"endTime":3068.0,"body":"Right."},{"startTime":3068.0,"endTime":3071.0,"body":"And then they'll stand up and exit the ocean and run."},{"startTime":3071.0,"endTime":3072.0,"body":"Right."},{"startTime":3072.0,"endTime":3074.0,"body":"Now, those mats stink of urine."},{"startTime":3074.0,"endTime":3075.0,"body":"Oh, yeah."},{"startTime":3075.0,"endTime":3080.0,"body":"They absolutely stink of urine because everybody reads in their witsuit."},{"startTime":3080.0,"endTime":3081.0,"body":"Right."},{"startTime":3081.0,"endTime":3086.0,"body":"So, yeah, definitely think about drinking the water at a topo of your suede."},{"startTime":3086.0,"endTime":3090.0,"body":"Why do you worry about it because all the wheeze in the witsuit?"},{"startTime":3090.0,"endTime":3095.0,"body":"The way I figure it, so long as you're at the front of the pack."},{"startTime":3095.0,"endTime":3096.0,"body":"Yeah, it's good."},{"startTime":3096.0,"endTime":3098.0,"body":"Just don't drink it if you're at the back."},{"startTime":3098.0,"endTime":3099.0,"body":"Yeah, yeah."},{"startTime":3099.0,"endTime":3103.0,"body":"That's why I never drink anything."},{"startTime":3103.0,"endTime":3109.0,"body":"Have you got any, like, swimmers that sort of jump out as being sort of special memories"},{"startTime":3109.0,"endTime":3115.0,"body":"or any sort of achievements that they've done or an experience that's been super difficult for them?"},{"startTime":3115.0,"endTime":3119.0,"body":"Well, as I said, the lady Joy finishing that girl boy challenge."},{"startTime":3119.0,"endTime":3120.0,"body":"Got you."},{"startTime":3120.0,"endTime":3123.0,"body":"That would be one of, that would have to be one of my favourite memories."},{"startTime":3123.0,"endTime":3129.0,"body":"We had an awards night in May and we gave her swimmer of the year"},{"startTime":3129.0,"endTime":3133.0,"body":"because of what she had to overcome to actually do that."},{"startTime":3133.0,"endTime":3134.0,"body":"Okay."},{"startTime":3134.0,"endTime":3137.0,"body":"And there's a few at the moment that I'm looking at them."},{"startTime":3137.0,"endTime":3141.0,"body":"Like, there's a lady, she owns Valley Worship on Mission Bay."},{"startTime":3141.0,"endTime":3142.0,"body":"Yeah, and her brother."},{"startTime":3142.0,"endTime":3145.0,"body":"And she comes over to Mission Bay."},{"startTime":3145.0,"endTime":3147.0,"body":"She's trained with Andrew from Boost."},{"startTime":3147.0,"endTime":3148.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":3148.0,"endTime":3152.0,"body":"But she was terrified of the water when I first met her."},{"startTime":3152.0,"endTime":3154.0,"body":"And she really wanted to do this triathlon."},{"startTime":3154.0,"endTime":3157.0,"body":"And now, I mean, she's still nervous."},{"startTime":3157.0,"endTime":3160.0,"body":"But now she gets in and swims and she even swim out to the boy."},{"startTime":3160.0,"endTime":3163.0,"body":"And it's just so cool to see how they progress."},{"startTime":3163.0,"endTime":3164.0,"body":"Yeah."},{"startTime":3164.0,"endTime":3166.0,"body":"I was swimming along one day with Joy."},{"startTime":3166.0,"endTime":3168.0,"body":"It was his head she's just learnt to do freestyle."},{"startTime":3168.0,"endTime":3170.0,"body":"And it was her first swim in the season."},{"startTime":3170.0,"endTime":3171.0,"body":"And she was doing freestyle."},{"startTime":3171.0,"endTime":3173.0,"body":"And we were swimming back towards the
