said Sloman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had the likes of <strong>Kyle Lee<\/strong> (North Coast, WA) and Kai Edwards pushing up onto my hip trying to slow me down and I was aware of that and I just wanted to make sure I was in clean water that whole way and it got pretty close towards the end there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKyle managed to squeeze up on my outside, coming into that last lap and if it wasn\u2019t for Tommy Raymond actually breaking away on his off side it probably would have been even a tighter finish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has actually been pretty good having Tommy there training with me and pushing me along the way \u2013 we\u2019ve got some pretty good depth at Noosa now which is good to see and the hard work really paying off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTommy has had 12 months in our program and he has just gone from strength to strength \u2013 the work we\u2019ve been doing has been pretty good for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is pushing me the whole way too and making sure I become a better athlete myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Noosa\u2019s Nick Sloman has snatched his fourth Australian 10km Open Water title in Busselton, WA today in a frantic 1-2 finish with his Sunshine Coast training partner Thomas Raymond.
