The rain held off until after the race, but the river remains fairly high.
It was again a night for K2s, with Steve & Alison yet again managing a PB. The earlier groups seemed to cope with the conditions a little better than last week. There was considerable hacking & hewing going on in the middle group & a few people had fairly bizzare start times. There was obviously a strong competitive streak amongst the faster crews, with boats being dug out of cobwebs & covers amidst strong suggestions that people were appropriating seats! Tom proved that paddling a K1 half a metre above the water is not his only aim in life, by approaching it from the same distance below the boat. He was the only paddler to attempt to negociate the 350 metres between Trent Bridge & the finish line, lying on the back deck of his boat!
Beth C had a good group who coped with the conditions well.
