kayaking 25:27 [3]
tullah challenge race.
Race is 4.5k and I had a pretty good start and felt like i was paddling strongly. I managed to hold off state paddling champion (and 20 year old ) Georgia Laird until 250 from the line but I try as I might I just couldn't out sprint her to the line as a) she's faster and b) she was in a faster boat - a k1 c) she is better - oh and D) she would have died before being beaten by me!
I did my best though. Despite choppy conditions - which was why I was in front of Georgia in the first place as she was struggling with stability in her K1, I was only 5 secs off lasts years record time. Happy enough with that.
In other news, word on the grapevine is that the 2 multisport races we do down here are no longer going to be held. Given they are a large part of the reason I paddle at all it's time to think about my paddling future and what I really enjoy doing. will blog thoughts at some stage.
