There was a light downstream breeze, but otherwise tonight's Clifton Time Trial was run in fairly good conditions. There was also a reasonable turn out, with a full range of handicaps from +1 to 16. Beth W did the only PB as far as I know. The only incident seems to have been the multiple pile up when I did an emergency stop just after the finish line. Hearing & vision were about to shut down when one K2 clipped my stern & 2 more rode over the bows. It's bad enough when you can see & hear, but then on the other hand, everything seeming a bit like a dream might be why I stayed upright!
Beth C's group was a bit fuller this week with 4 attending. There's a bit of a contest for boats, with several people racing Trimmers in the time trial, leaving some rather tatty ones for the younger group to train in.
The time trial was followed by the presentation of trophies for the Winter Race Series. Michael S collected most awards, Fastest Junior, Fastest K2 & Most Improved Junior. Kath took the "Naked Lady" Trophy for the series with Laura as the runner up. (Fuller series results can be found on the NKC website.) Tee-shirts went to Laura, Kath, Geordie, Tom & Craig. Andy, Shobhanaa, Kate & Marysh were also due for one, had they been there. Sadly, there seemed to be more tee-shirt & trophy recipients absent than present on this occasion.
