Lowveld croc. 5th, super happy with the result. Start 13th, 1min intervals in first 10 off, and then 30sec intervals thereafter. Caught MJ and one other stuck in narrow channel before gundu's weir, and passed them, then caught up with Alex 1:30 ahead with a good portage and put-in at the hippo portage, then had a clean day until rocky rapid around 21km, had to get out my boat, losing Alex, then I ran out of gas, lost 5min to Alex but didn't get caught by anyone else. Would have been nice to beat Alex, but beat most of my other targets on the day, with clean lines through all the big and small rapids.
