Being Sponged

Full Serve: By Hyannis Drive you’ve covered almost 42km and you need a bath. You think they’re offering the sponges because you’re hot and need a little pick me up but that’s not it at all. You’re glowing! So for no extra charge, the Vikings sponge you off, put a freezie in your hand, and send you on up the Seymour Grind as quickly as possible. ….Tom Craik, 6 times, Knee Knacker finisher.
