"I got two firsts and a second," she said. "We got the second for our triathlon team and I got the first for the prediction swim for women under 65, then I got first for walking." Both swims - the triathlon and the separate swim event - were eight lengths in the pool, or 200 metres. The walking event was a three kilo- metre walk for women under 75. "That was in Stratford," she said. "We walked along the river." Both the walk and swim were prediction events, meaning participants predicted how long it would take to complete the event. Their scores are the difference between their prediction and the actual time, with the lowest score winning. "When it's prediction," she said, "you compete with yourself, really." Perrie said it was a nice walk, though "it was a hot and sticky day." "In the swim for the triathlon, I was two sec- onds off my predicted time," she said. In the regular swim event, she was only one second off her predicted time. "That's what made me excited, that I was so close," she said. Perrie competed with Ethel Walker of Drusilla Leitch, Joan Perrie and Ethel Walker Brucefield and Drusilla Leitch of Egmondville in the triathlon as a team. Walker said she enjoys the Seniors' Games. "I wouldn't be in it if I didn't," she said. Walker's been at it for "at least seven years." She walked for the team. INVF,STMENT OPPORTL!NITIES consider these talcs!
