EP Swimmer, Michael Marais, was back to winning form at Sunday’s 8th round of the Weekend Post Ocean Racing Series, claiming line honours in the Dis-Chem 3km Ocean Swim from Raynard Tissink and Hanré Barnard.

In the 1km Ocean Swim it was Jason Jones and Carmel Billson who took line honours whilst Marinus Johnson continued his unbeaten stretch in the Varsity College 5km Beach Run with Kirsty Weir making a welcome return to the Series to claim a win in the ladies beach run. Yolandi Wright and David Counihan won the 5km Beach Walk which was held in hot, sticky conditions on Sunday morning.
