0835 - 56th and 46th K1. 125.19%. Day 2 of 2-Day Klip from Henley Weir down to Vaal and up Suikerbosch to the Ski Boat Club. Started with a flat water sprint to the Scout Hall and a 1.5km portage back. Felt bad on the portage, need to run more before Dusi. Then started playing catchup on the rest of the A-bunch, working together with a Dabs guy till Dogs Bridge. Took a swim on a tree block just before Train Bridge when I was hurried by a K2. Felt tired the rest of the way in, probably wasting up to 5 mins. Still quite happy though in the end. Was almost exactly same to to Vaal confluence as with Mac 2 years ago, but with the extra Henley portage now added. Position seemed to be unchanged after day 2. Florida guys gave me lifts on both days - superb. Felt very stable on all days, so looking forward to Dusi - just a question of which boat will I take?

0831 - Day 1 of the 2-Day Klip from Rand Water Pipes to Caravan Park. Winner was about 3h03 so I was 126%. Very happy with that. No swims, just a couple minutes hold up as I had a low seeding. Put a small hole in the boat at Graveyard - first one ever in the big foot. Fixed after the race at Canoe Junxion. Hope to improve my % even more on day 2 with less portaging.

1745 - Foxbat with Ryno. Bit of an 'off' day. We had no vooma.

1740 - Emmarentia with bigfoot. 7 x large laps.
