Breakfast Race – 21 May

Hi Guys

WOW – Our Race days are fast becoming a spectacular event – this week we managed to have 2 heats for the 200mm. We’re starting to go places.

Brian !!!!- when are you organising the new grandstand, the fireworks and the cheer leaders?

It’s been 6 weeks between drinks so I would have expected to see some improvements in individual times. As usual you didn’t let us down. Andrew and Dave scored maximum points for the day with PB’s in both 200 and 2000m. Well done Dave and Andrew. Michael and Alex True also came through with some great times in the 2000.

We had some first time race starters keen to test their new skills (excluding Max – he’s already skilled). There’s too many to mention, well not really – Josh, Alicia, Max, Hannah and Maddie. It was impressive to see the 2000 start with a line of K1’s stretched across the river. Soon those rotten tinnies will have us to deal with.

And then there was our first back paddle race. It may be the last if we keep crashing and watch those rocks. I think Arnie won with Michael and Alex Repetto close behind but I can’t be sure cause I was rolling around laughing too much. It’s just as well that Josh can paddle forward. He did show us how clever he is doing circles backwards. ONYA Josh !!. Anyway it was a good laugh. I hope you had a laugh too. YOU ARE ALL BANNED FROM the WOOLLIES CAR PARK !!!!!!!!

If anyone has some good ideas for some fun races please let us know.

( Paddle a balloon down the course??)

See you on the River
