Our best results were marred by carelessness by our veterans, both in individual K1 events & the K2 5km race. Having either won or gained minor placings the two underweight boats also gained us 3 more penalty points. For the paddlers themselves, the disqualifications were just pointless as they should really know better. For the rest of us, the penalty points count against the club score at the Inter-clubs Regatta in September. I can almost forgive the juniors for the ones they gained at an earlier regatta, but Veteran club members with years of experience should really know better.
The lack of the junior girls racing removed some of the more light hearted element of the regatta, but in their absence, Tadek & Zyggy made up for it with a 3rd & a 2nd in their respective 1Km Lightning races.
The 5Km with Marish felt quite hard, especially after my almost decent result in the Masters B K1 100m. I missed the "edge" of having Howard to race against due to his promotion back to Masters A!
