Today's guest is FINA Top Ten Alumni and 9 time winner of the iconic Lorne Pier to Pub ocean race, Tim Boness. For our international listeners, Lorne is located on Victoria's surf coast about a two hour drive from Melbourne. The race is a 1.2km swim from the Lorne Pier to the sandy beach in front of the Lorne Pub. It is the largest participant ocean race in the world, with 5,000 swimmers competing.
We chat about how Tim got involved with the Pier to Pub race, both as a competitor and as an administrator; what motivates him to keep racing from the pier to the pub, an amazing 35 times so far; and how he trains predominantly in the pool, but transfers that fitness into the ocean.
Hear about how Tim moved on from being a top Australian age and open national swimmer in his youth; the legendary teenage hell week training camps he attended in Townsville and why he loves the 200m butterfly so much. We also discuss what motivated him to get into Masters Swimming, why he loves it so much and what kind of training he does?
You won't want to miss hearing about Tim's all time favourite training set - hint: it's butterfly!
