Hillbillie WA Coverage

The Hillbillies have two roving reporters on the course in WA - Fee and Margreet.

The first report of the day, 10 minutes into the swim, confirmed that the competitors were being given a taste of some wild weather.

Thunder, lightning and showers rained down on Busselton overnight and resulted in a choppy sea and a half an hour delay in the start.

Ky Hurst flew into the swim and gapped the rest of the 700 or so athletes within the first 500 metres.
