Waterside B

22/2/2015

A small team of 5 braved the 17.5 mile Waterside B race today. With 19 portages it proved a challenge for both Sim and Matt who had never raced in a waterside race before. Josh also joined them bringing along his experience, while Mike and Alastair paddled in K2 as a training run for the DW.

A big mention must go to Matt who won the junior category even after having to stop to try and save his watch.

Well done to everyone that raced.
