On Saturday the 20th of May we photographed the Shek O Open Water Race. About 70 swimmers competed in the event which saw them swim from Big Wave Bay to Skek O back beach. The winning time for the 2.2km race was 26 minutes 6 seconds by Hong Kong’s top triathalete Daniel Lee Chi-wo… As open water swimming has just been added to the Beijing Olympics there was a fair bit of media coverage of the event.
After the race, athletes and specators enjoyed beach volley ball, beach dash running race and dance performance by the Hong Kong Youth Outreach Program. Thankfully the rain held off and the party continued into the eveing with DJ Antoine spinning on the decks… A very nice day out…
