If anything the weather was even better today. Mixed results, but some good racing. 
The senior races seemed rather confusing if you bothered to study the programme, as all the crews had been jumbled up. Oh yes, of course, pre-Olympic year & the coaches are raising the axe, stirring the stick, playing the game & trying to get some qualifying times at whatever cost to the individuals. 
Sound a little cynical? Well nothing's changed, it happens every Olympic cycle. In fact if it didn't happen we would get worried that the coaches didn't care!

At a club level, Kat & Gilly got a few National Championships medals. Tadek came 3rd in the under 12s 500 & Zyggy came first, adding another "tiddly wink" each to their score already in their first ever regatta. The future looks bright!
Considering that it was the senior National Championships, the whole day seemed a little slow. Perhaps it was the hot weather, perhaps it was the absence of the junior Girls D paddlers!
