Chelmsford Winter Series Marathon (12 Jan 2025)

12/1/2025

Only a few Stortford paddlers braved the extremely cold conditions to take part in the Chelmsford Winter Series race, which comprised one, two or three laps of the River Can through the town centre.

On the longest course, Kerstin & Catherine were second in Ladies K2, and received the fastest SuperVet medals - their time would also have brought them a silver medal in the Mens K2! David G executed a great performance in the Senior Men's class against a large and very strong field to finish 5th. Both Eilidh and Eddie fell foul of the rule which limits medals according to the size of the entry, so did not get medals for their 2nd and 3rd places.

8 miles:
K2 16+ Ladies - Kerstin Queeney & Catherine Shirley [EAL] 2nd (1:05:06)
K1 Sen Men - David Gurney 5th (1:03:08)
K1 Sen Ladies - Eilidh White 2nd (1:17:31)
K1 u18 Men - Edward Kirtland 3rd (1:07:41)

Ben secured his third win in the SuperVet Men's class to take gold - the club's only entry on the middle distance.

5 miles:
K1 SuperVet Men - Ben Tubby 1st (43:34)

On the shortest course, Petr won gold in C1, and Rupert a bronze against a surprising number of u12s given the state of the weather.

The largest class of the day was the K1 Open - with 11 paddlers competing even after a couple of entries had cancelled - Jack put in a very creditable performance to finish 8th.

3 miles:
C1 novice - Petr Luksan 1st (29:36)
K1 u12 Boys - Rupert Kirtland 3rd (29:15)
K1 Open - Jack Law 8th (30:46)

Chelmsford were the overall winners, with Cambridge 2nd. Due to the small size of the team, BSCC were a long way behind, just managing to stay ahead of Leighton Buzzard to take 3rd.

Chelmsford were also first for points towards the Dick Grieve trophy. Here, Leighton Buzzard were 2nd and Stortford 3rd.

Barking Winter Series Marathon (15 Dec 2024)

15/12/2024

0 Comments

Very few of the dozen Stortford paddlers who made the journey to the Winter Series race hosted by Barking & Dagenham club would have done this race before, as this was the first time it has taken place since 2017.

Almost all the Stortford paddlers won medals. There were golds for Jasper and Summer to add to their growing collections. Silver medals went to the new pairing of David G & Eilidh, and also to Ben T (who was also awarded one of Barking's "swimmer" stickers). Rupert won a bronze, Kerstin was a 1st Supervet (in Ladies K2 with Catherine), and Jacque & Dave were 1st Ultravets in Mixed K2. Zoe won her first Winter Series medal as First Lady in K1 Open.

The only finisher not to get a medal was Kerry T, despite an excellent effort and a second place. Current WS rules restrict silver and bronze medals for the adults and older juniors on the basis of the number of entries.

12 km:
K2 16+ Mens - Eddie Kirtland & George Hampton [CLM] DNF
K2 16+ Mixed - David Gurney & Eilidh White 2nd (1:11:43); Jacque & Dave Cayford 6th (1:31:47)
K2 16+ Ladies - Kerstin Queeney & Catherine Shirley [EAL] 2nd (1:13:05)
K1 Vet Ladies - Kerry Tubby 2nd (1:27:24)

8 km:
K1 SuperVet Men - Ben Tubby 2nd (50:34)

4 km:
K1 u14 Boys - Jasper Kirtland 1st (24:40)
K1 u12 Boys - Rupert Kirtland 3rd (31:38)
K1 u12 Girls - Summer Norford 1st (45:50)
K1 Open - Zoe Norford 3rd (33:40)

BSCC came 2nd behind Chelmsford CC's inevitable 1st. Crucially, however, Stortford came ahead of Cambridge CC (3rd), so are now only one league point behind them.

Cambridge Winter Series Marathon (1 Dec 2024)

5/12/2024

The Cambridge race was attended by 14 Stortford paddlers. Though not cold there was rain throughout most of the event, though this did not seem to dampen anyone's spirits.

Gold medals went to Ben T, Jasper and Summer, each of whom are now leading the series points in their respective classes.

Joe won silver in Mens K2 with Scott from Barking. Kerstin and Ealing partner Catherine, who also finished second in the Ladies K2 won the medal for First Supervets.

Robert is now getting back into the stride of racing, winning silver in the Open K1 class, having come within a second of taking the gold.

There were well-deserved bronze medals for Libby and Rupert - in Rupert's case he was facing the largest group of under-12 boys seen for some time in a Winter Series race.

Jamie W, the only junior amongst the 12 competitors in Open K1, achieved an impressive 4th place, and also making a big contribution to the club's Dick Grieve points (for unranked juniors).

Well done also to Jack L, who successfully completed his first away race!

7 miles (4 portages):
K2 16+ Mens - Joe Fitzpatrick & Scott Leblanche [BAD] 2nd (1:01:58)
K2 16+ Ladies - Kerstin Queeney & Catherine Shirley [EAL] 2nd (1:11:38)

K1 Open - Robert Gough 2nd (29:38), Jamie Winstanley 4th (32:35), Zoe Norford 8th (36:02), Jack Law 10th (36:25)

BSCC was 3rd with Leighton Buzzard CC, behind Chelmsford CC, and the home team Cambridge CC. The same pattern repeated for the Dick Grieve points.

A somewhat depleted team of 10 made their way down to Maidstone for the second race of the 2024-25 Winter Series. Nevertheless, six of these went home with medals.

David G and Eddie earned bronzes as in the Mens K2, after gaining a good position in the mass start of 17 doubles boats.

8 miles (1 portage):
K2 16+ Mens - David Gurney & Eddie Kirtland 3rd (1:07:08)
K1 Senior Ladies - Eilidh White 2nd (1:32:39)

Claudia just pipped Kerstin to a silver medal in the SuperVet Ladies K1.

K1 SuperVet Ladies - Claudia Redeker 2nd (51:55), Kerstin Queeney 3rd (51:57)
K1 u16 Girls - Libby Gaulton 4th (58:47)

On the shortest course, Jasper was the victor in u14 Boys race and won a well-deserved gold. Rupert put up a determined fight and to secure bronze in u12 Boys.

Each taking part in their first race were Summer and mum Zoe. Summer was rewarded with the Gold medal for u12 Girls. Zoe reported that they had both enjoyed it and will do more!

3 miles:
K1 u14 Boys - Jasper Kirtland 1st (27:21)
K1 u12 Boys - Rupert Kirtland 3rd (36:46)
K1 u12 Girls - Summer Norford 1st (45:18)
K1 Open - Zoe Norford 9th (38:35)

BSCC was joint 4th with Leighton Buzzard CC, behind Chelmsford CC, Cambridge CC and Barking & Dagenham CC. Although disappointing it was fairly inevitable, given the small size of the team.

B. Stortford Winter Series Marathon (3 Nov 2024)

3/11/2024

0 Comments

The opening race of this year's Winter Series attracted 120 competitors representing 13 different clubs, including a few from Tonbridge CC and Royal CC.

Despite all the heavy rain last month, the field dried out and was available for parking, and the weather on the day was perfect. Thankfully there were no fallen trees this year, so everyone was back on the usual course. The day went like clockwork, thanks to the hard work by all the club's volunteers - including some helping out for the first time.

Kerstin was partnered by Catherine from Ealing CC to a second place in the Ladies K2, and Jacque & Dave won the First Ultravet medals in the mixed K2.

The largest class at the event was the SuperVet Men's K1 on the 5-mile course, which was won by Ben T, with Claudia taking the gold medal in the equivalent Ladies class.

Jasper and Rupert were both gold medal winners in their respective classes on the 3-mile course

The total number of Canadian canoes of all types participating was up slightly, and this race also saw two entries by SUP paddlers - a first for Stortford and for the Winter Series.

Petr took the opportunity to try out his new canoe with outrigger, which presented an interesting challenge when it came to the portage!

Two of our newest recruits, Shehan and Jack, had their first taste of racing, taking advantage of the new K1 Open Class on the 3 mile course. Robert, who is just getting back into the sport after many years away from the club, also opted for this class and won bronze.

Peter W went straight into the SuperVets class on the 5 mile course for his first race. Kerry H took on the 7-mile course - her longest distance yet - as a Vet Lady. Both clocked up very respectable times against some very high-calibre competition.

7 miles (6 portages):
K2 16+ Mixed - Jacque & Dave Cayford 6th (1:21:06)
K2 16+ Ladies - Kerstin Queeney & Catherine Shirley [EAL]
K1 Senior Men - David Gurney 6th (1:04:06)
K1 Senior Ladies - Eilidh White 1st (1:24:13)
K1 Veteran Ladies - Kerry Tubby 3rd (1:21:32), Kerry Hoar 4th (1:46:36)

5 miles (3 portages):
K1 SuperVet Men - Ben Tubby 1st (46:47), Peter Winfield 10th (1:09:33)
K1 SuperVet Ladies - Claudia Redeker 1st (53:09)
K1 u16 Boys - Jamie Winstanley (DNF)
K1 u16 Girls - Libby Gaulton 6th (58:54)

3 miles (1 portage):
K1 u14 Boys - Jasper Kirtland 1st (27:40)
C1 Novice - Petr Luksan 1st (39:24)
K1 u12 Boys - Rupert Kirtland 1st (37:52)
K1 Open - Robert Gough 3rd (31:48), Shehan Sheikh 7th (40:41), Jack Law 8th (41:43), Alex Scott 9th (41:51)

The Mayor of Bishop's Stortford, Richard Townsend, kindly came along to give out the medals.

Although the Stortford team was somewhat reduced compared to last year, it was still enough to bring the club second place overall (126 points), behind Chelmsford CC (398) and ahead of Cambridge CC (105).

As there were only two novice juniors scoring points for the club (Rupert and Shehan), BSCC came third in the Dick Grieve league, behind Chelmsford and Leighton Buzzard.

Chelmsford Winter Series Marathon (28 Jan 2024)

28/1/2024

0 Comments

“Choppy” was the main word on everyone’s lips after the final race of the Winter Series. A much reduced BSCC team paddled in what turned out to be delightful weather for the time of year; however, the river Can was at turns very wavy and very shallow, leading to more than one unexpected dip for our paddlers.

On the 8-mile course, the best results for the club came from Kerstin and Catherine who took gold in the K2 16+ women’s race. Kerry and Chris made for a successful pairing in the K2 16+ mixed doubles race, coming in 3rd place, whilst Jacque and Dave also battled through this race, taking the first Ultra-vets medal.

Other paddlers at this distance were Joao who thoroughly enjoyed the Senior Men’s K1 race, and Eilidh who had a leisurely paddle to take 2nd place in the Under-18 girls race.

On the 5-mile course it was Eddie who shone, winning silver in the u16 Boys for the 4th time this season. Ben competed in the Supervet Men’s race again, coming 2nd despite two unscheduled dunkings in the chilly water. Robin also raced in this class, coming in 7th, and considering this to be very good value for his money after an hour on the water!

Jasper worked hard in the u14 boy’s race, sadly succumbing to the lure of a swim at the half way point. However, he bravely got back in and paddled the second half of the race with great determination, finishing in 4th place.

Petr had a fantastic race in the C1 Novice category, winning with style after navigating the rough waters in his high-kneeler canoe.

Rupert also took 4th place in the u12s boys race – as the only unranked junior competing for the club it fell to him to score the only Dick Grieve points for BSCC.

8 miles:
K2 16+ Mixed - Chris Sze & Kerry Tubby 3rd (1:11:49), Jacque & Dave Cayford 7th (1:20:09)
K2 16+ Ladies - Kerstin Queeney & Catherine Ayling (EAL) 1st (1:08:43)
K1 Sen Men - Joao Spinola 4th (1:08:13)
K1 Sen Ladies - Megan Kenny (EXE) 2nd (1:14:09)
K1 u18 Ladies - Eilidh White 2nd (1:23:12)

5 miles:
K1 SuperVet Men - Ben Tubby 2nd (48:05), Robin Dromard 7th (1:02:16)
K1 u16 Boys - Eddie Kirtland 2nd (45:34)

3 miles:
K1 u14 Boys - Jasper Kirtland 4th (27:16)
C1 Novice - Petr Luksan 1st (30:36)
K1 u12 Boys - Rupert Kirtland 4th (32:43)

Full race & series results are on the FRA website.

See Angela's Google album for some photos of the Chelmsford race & awards.

BSCC SERIES RESULTS:
Libby Gaulton - winner u14 Girls Trophy
Petr Luksan - winner C1 Novice Trophy
Megan Kenny (for EXE) - 2nd in Senior Ladies
Jack Gaulton - 2nd place in u18 Men
Eilidh White - 2nd place in u18 Ladies
Eddie Kirtland - 2nd place in u16 Boys
Rupert Kirtland - 2nd place in u12 Boys

Kerstin Queeney & Catherine Ayling (EAL) - 3rd place in Ladies K2
Jasper Kirtland - 4th place in u14 Boys
Joao Spinola - 5th in K1Senior Men

BSCC were second overall in the series (which was won by Chelmsford CC).

The contest for the Dick Grieve Trophy (based on points scored by unranked juniors), went right up to line. Leighton Buzzard CC and Cambridge CC were tied for first place, with the winner (Buzzard) being decided by the number of overall wins. Just one point behind, BSCC and Chelmsford CC tied for third place. We were also third in the Bob Porter Trophy (for level of participation by u12s).

One particular highlight of the day was an award for Angela Aldam, who has been helping to organise the Winter Series for nearly 20 years - she was presented with an engraved vase and some flowers to mark her 100th race and to thank her for all of her hard work over the years.

14/1/2024

Seventeen BSCC paddlers made it to the earlier-than-usual Leighton Buzzard Winter Series race. A bright but chilly day made for a more pleasant paddling experience than the weather forecasts had predicted!

On the 8-mile course, the best results for the club came from Kerstin and her K2 partner Catherine Ayling (Ealing CC) who took gold in the K2 Women’s race, and from Karen who paddled this distance for the first time to win the gold medal in the Vet Women’s race.

Jack continued his silver streak with a fantastic performance in u18 Men. Kerry & Chris made for a successful pairing in the K2 16+ mixed doubles race, coming in 4th place, which earned them the First SuperVets medal – Jacque & Dave also battled through this race, finishing with a smile to win First UltraVets.

Mark, paddling in the Men’s K2 race with Steve Tingay of Leighton Buzzard, donned an LBZ vest to pay homage Steve’s mother - a long held wish of hers finally fulfilled.

Other Stortford paddlers at this distance were Joao in the Senior Men’s K1, Jaroslav in the Vet Men’s race and Megan in Senior Women (for Exeter CC).

8 miles (2 portages):
K2 16+ Men - Mark Adams & Steve Tingay [LBZ] 5th (1:18:17)

K1 u16 Boys - Eddie Kirtland 2nd (57:53)

Libby took gold in the u14 Girls again, despite a run in with a narrowboat which resulted in her taking an unscheduled swim. She bravely got back in and paddled the second half of the race with great determination.

On the 6-mile course it was Eddie who shone, winning silver in the u16 Boys.

Finlay and Oliver struggled to a very hard-earned silver in the u16 K2s race, at one point having to take evasive action when threatened by a swan!

Ben competed in the Supervet Men’s race again, coming 4th despite no less than three swims in the chilly water.

Rupert won the bronze in the u12s Boys race after a sprint finish with Conor Bates of Leighton Buzzard CC – Rupert also brought home significant Dick Grieve points, as the only unranked junior competing for the club.

4 miles:
K1 u14 Girls - Libby Gaulton 1st (48:03)
K1 u12 Boys - Rupert Kirtland 3rd (52:59)

Cambridge Winter Series Marathon (3 Dec 2023)

3/12/2023

0 Comments

Fifteen BSCC paddlers braved the elements for a particularly grim Winter Series race in Cambridge. The cold and wet weather added a certain frisson to the already muddy portages, on which many of the races were won or lost!

The club's best results on the 7-mile course came from Jack, who won silver with a spirited performance in the Under-18 Boy’s race. Daniel also put in a fantastic performance, coming 5th in the same race, his first time competing at this distance, and this in an unfamiliar boat, with a borrowed paddle.

Ben and Kerry took on the K2 16+ mixed doubles, but an unfortunate capsize put them in 5th place.

Other paddlers competing at this distance were Karen and Christine who were second in the K2 16+ Women’s race – although they led for much of the race, an especially difficult portage put them just behind the eventual winners.

Eilidh was third in a challenging Under-18s Girl’s race. Jaroslav enjoyed his first Winter Series race this season, wading through the mud at the portages and coming 7th in the Vet men’s race.

7 miles (4 portages):
K2 16+ Mixed - Ben & Kerry Tubby 5th (1:18:32)
K2 16+ Ladies - Karen Bradley & Christine Meula 2nd (1:30:17)
K1 Vet Men - Jaroslav Klumpler 7th (1:23:59)
K1 u18 Men - Jack Gaulton 2nd (1:23:40), Daniel Baines 5th (1:35:34)
K1 u18 Ladies - Eilidh White 3rd (1:30:05)

On the 5-mile course it was Eddie who shone, winning silver in the Under-16 Boys, whilst Finlay and Oliver struggled to a very hard-earned silver in the Under-16 K2s race.

5 miles (4 portages):
K2 u16 - Oliver Klumpler & Finlay Sandall 2nd (1:23:36)
K1 u16 Boys - Eddie Kirtland 2nd (54:53)

Rupert was the standout performer on the short course, taking gold in the Under 12s boys race with a very well executed portage – he and Daniel also brought home significant points in the Dick Grieve category, as the only two unranked juniors competing for the club.

3 miles (2 portages):
K1 u14 Boys - Jasper Kirtland 4th (31:17)
K1 u14 Girls - Libby Gaulton 1st (31:18)
C1 novice - Petr Luksan 2nd (36:02)
K1 u12 Boys - Rupert Kirtland 1st (34:17)

Libby and Jasper worked brilliantly together, taking gold in the U14 girls and 4th in the U14 boys respectively. Petr was one of the very few high kneeler C1s on the course, taking 2nd place in the C1 Novice class.

As usual, Chelmsford were the overall winners of the event, with Cambridge second, and Stortford third.

B. Stortford Winter Series Marathon (5 Nov 2023)

5/11/2023

An even greater vote of thanks than usual is due this year to the club's volunteers, who not only had to contend with marshalling off-site parking for the 136 competitors but also had to adjust at the last minute to course changes to avoid the huge fallen tree which blocked the river upstream of the club, preventing the town stretch from being used.

Blessedly, the day itself was dry and even sunny, though cold.

Inspecting the fallen tree (photo Flora K)

As usual there was a good turn-out of doubles crews, now split into three classes for the Men, Ladies and Mixed. Matthew Johnson & Leah Falltrick of Chelmsford CC were the fastest double with their time of 52:15.

Three (or, strictly, two and a half) Stortford crews were in the Ladies K2 race, which was won by Kerstin & Catherine (Ealing CC), with Octavia & Kerry hot on their heels. Karen & Christine put in a spirited performance to come 5th.

In total Stortford had a team of 26. It was lovely to see Megan back paddling with us again though, under rule that comes with bringing the race under the MRC, she was obliged to paddle for her official club of Exeter.

While concern about the river conditions may have put off a few of the younger juniors that we would normally expect, numbers were more than made up by the return of Veteran/SuperVet Men at a level seen since the pandemic. Over-50s now have the option of entering M/F "SuperVets" classes on the 5 mile course, but this still left a field of 14 for the 7-mile Veteran Men's race. Rich reprised last year's success to take Gold in Vet Men, while Ben did the same in the SuperVet M.

7 miles (6 portages):
K2 16+ Ladies - Kerstin Queeney & Catherine Ayling [EAL] 1st (1:10:18), Octavia Abbott & Kerry Tubby 2nd (1:11:50), Karen Bradley & Christine Meula 5th (1:21:53)
K1 Senior Men - Joao Spinola 5th (1:12:44), Jamie Bond 7th (1:40:30), David Gurney (rtd)
K1 Senior Ladies - Megan Kenny [EXE] 1st (1:16:06)
K1 Veteran Men - Rich Winstanley 1st (1:01:12)
K1 Veteran Ladies - Kat Wilson 1st (1:03:15)
K1 u18 Ladies - Eilidh White 2nd (1:26:21)

5 miles (4 portages):
K1 SuperVet Men - Ben Tubby 1st (45:45), Mark Adams 2nd (47:28), Robin Dromard 8th (1:06:54)
K2 u16 - Oliver Klumpler & Finlay Sandall 3rd (1:03:46)
K1 u16 Boys - Eddie Kirtland 2nd (47:28), Jacob Chan 7th (1:12:21), Aaron Sandhu 8th (1:13:36)
K1 u16 Girls - Ananya Bhusari 6th (1:18:51)

approx 3 miles (2 portage):
K1 u14 Boys - Jasper Kirtland 4th (39:42), Jamie Winstanley 8th (47:11)
K1 u14 Girls - Libby Gaulton 1st (41:12)
C1 Novice - Petr Luksan 1st (42:53)
GP 16+ Men - Alex Scott 3rd (1:04:20)
K1 u12 Boys - Rupert Kirtland 4th (50:06)

The Mayor of Bishop's Stortford, Richard Townsend, kindly came along to give out the medals.

The club was second overall with 183 points, behind Chelmsford CC (338) but well ahead of Leighton Buzzard CC (125).

BSCC is also leading the Dick Grieve league, based on the performance of novice juniors only, thanks to the efforts of Jacob, Aaron, Ananya, Jasper, Jamie W, and Rupert.

Congratulations to Jamie B. and Jacob for successfully completing their first marathon races, and to Jamie W. on his return after a long absence.
