Checking out the weather forecast the day before, it wasn’t looking good
with rain predicted. Bit of a relief when it changed. The conditions
still challenged the paddlers as the odd gust of wind came through from
the north west.
Andrew McPherson and Aaron van Schaik put done the hammer and lead the
long course from the beginning right to the end and did not easy off one
bit to finish with a two minute lead over the next boat (41:37), of Ian
Trautmann (43:39). Ian paddled hard to make sure the man wearing the
yellow vest (Daniel Kantor) would be behind him. Ian wasn’t letting up
this time as he wanted to reclaim the yellow vest back. Daniel finished
third (44:19).
Bronwen Hobbs was the only women to complete the windy course and pick
up some very valuable point and take the yellow vest over from Romy
Parker.
The veterans was once again won by Neil Bailey (44:58). But Mark
Torrington who was second (46:36), reckons its not going to be plain
sailing for Neil as he refocus on the singles title again. Third was
Greg Goodwin (46:47). Once 10 seconds behind Mark. Eeesh things are
hotting up here.
Shaun Butler continued in fine form as he took first master (46:37),
with Johann van Blerck just taking second (51:04) from Clive Farrell
(51:07).
Andrew McPherson and Aaron van Schaik (41:37) really set a cracking
place with a 3 minute lead from the next double of Nick Rockey and
Graham Rowe (44:35). The new combination of Mark Preen and Danny Biggs
took third spot (45:16).
Rob and Liz Hart paddled hard to just miss out on a top 20 spot. They
finished in a time of 47:06. With second going to Tatimum Prince and
Ugene Nel (59:50), who are off to take part in the Adventure Racing
world Champs next month.
The short course there was a much smaller field, with Tony Barrett
taking line owners and first master (25:55), with Guy Lundy second
(26:47) and third to Barry Hobson (29:31).
First woman Jody Baumgarten (32:57) and Heidi Koch second (38:00)
Craig McIver was first junior (32:26)
Well done to all.
