Loved racing in the Scottish K2 championships with Rob last weekend. It was a tough one (but not as tough as last year, turns out training actually helps), with Linda and Phil in the lead almost all the way.
Rob and I were paddling the K2 with the sprint rudder again, which made the turns rather challenging, meaning we were playing catch- up with the group after all but three turns (and there were twelve of them). I didn't think we'd be able to keep up, but we kept it going and in the end, staying fast into the strong headwind was what got us the win : )
It was great to have such a close race, thanks all!
I don't know why we're looking pensive on the podium, but that's the only photo.
To continue this overall fantastic day, Alan had organised a paddle and bbq at Seacliff Beach. Paddled round the Bass with Carly (for her second ever paddle!) and met a pod of dolphins on the way back! They came so close to our boats, it was breathtaking. Paddling is the best!
