Hey all,

So I just got an email from an Aussie race director yesterday… his name is Grant Siedle and he is the founder of a new 30k solo & relay race in Melbourne, Australia.  He sent me the details of his new race, Giants of the Bay .  It looks awesome… a little out of the way… but if you happen to be planning a trip Down Under, it’s a good one to keep in mind to make that trip a little more memorable! 

It’s also just good to see the sport growing everywhere… it was kinda cool that he was looking to us as the old established Team too!  Anyway, have a look…

I founded LOST Swimming because I like open water swimming and would like to see it grow and thrive in Lake Ontario. I started as a competitive swimmer as a kid and ended up getting as far as a silver medal at Nationals and going to the Olympic Trials in 1988. But I retired after that, I was sick of swimming. So I got into running marathons and have run over 35 to date, as well as a few ultra marathons, including the Marathon des Sables (7 day, ultra across the Sahara Desert). I also kind of fell into triathlons and have done a handful of Ironman tri's too. This gradually got me back in the water and in 2006 I took the plunge and attempted swimming the English Channel. I didn't quite make it across, but the circle was now complete and after 17 years I was a swimmer again! Although I still do plenty of pool swimming, I now much prefer open water swimming and like to say that open water swimming is to pool swimming, what trail running is to treadmill running! As a result I hope to encourage more people to join me for a dip in Lake Ontario as often as we can!
