Two paddlers achieved promotions. Claudia, racing for the first time with Ben, now joins him in Div 4. The pair won the Div 4 doubles race well over 3 minutes faster than the next-placed boat. Jamie had an excellent race in Div 8 singles. After a good start he held 2nd place for most of the race but was overtaken in the final sprint, and missed out on silver by just 2s. He has been promoted to Div 7. |
Karen & Christine and Jacque & Dave took the silver and bronze medals respectively in Div 7 doubles. Kat and Eddie took silver in Div 3, but as the winners were out of region, scored maximum points. Oliver and Kerry went for a swim at the final turn but somehow Joe managed to be on hand to help them get back in the race and clock up two more silver medals for the club. Rupert won yet another medal for the club, by taking bronze in GS A, |
