Back on the beach It’s been a long wait for Mount Maunganui Lifeguard Service members Emily Mahon, Francesca Piceno and Olive Pearce (pictured), but the trio are excited to be lining up for Saturday’s Dexion Mount Monster. The annual surf lifesaving endurance race is a great chance
for lifeguards to bolster their fitness ahead of a big summer patrolling the beaches. The gruelling event includes a 23km paddle, a 5km run along soft sand and a 1500m swim, before ending with a 6km board paddle home.
Olympic swimmer Lewis Clareburt is just one of the names hoping to make a big impact at the ninth Mount Monster, with surf lifesavers from all over the country set to find out if their fitness is up to the job this summer. Read the full story on page 9. Photo: Dscribe Media.
