Bedford Hasler (3 May 2015)

Some excellent results at Bedford, bringing the Stortford team an overall 4th place (see calculated Eastern Region league table). The torrential rain cleared up by the time the racing actually began, though there was enough of a breeze to keep the water very bumpy.

Particular highlights included Silver medals for Will & Ant in Div 7 doubles, and for Mike T in Div 7 singles. In a spectacular performance on the long course, Joe S took third place paddling up into the amalgamated Div2/3 singles race and has been promoted to Div 2. Laura too won a Bronze in Div 5, with Heidi just seconds behind her. Robbie, returning to racing after a long break, entered the Div 6 race, came 4th, and has been promoted to Div 5.  There was also a impressive performance from 11-yr old Toby in only his second marathon race since leaving Lightnings behind.
