DW 2008 - Senior K1 Richard

Richard and Harriet started from Devizes at the same time and stayed together for the first 15 miles or so.






After Wooton Rivers, Richard was obviously portaging faster, because by the time he reached the start of the tunnel, he was well clear of Harriet. This meant that the 3 Nottingham entries were now well separated and the "cheering section" opted for following Harriet, hoping to catch glimpses of either of the other two. This was the last we saw of Richard as he disappeared into the tunnel.
Following his progress on the DW website though it became clear that having pulled out a 10 minute lead on Paul Wells, he was hanging onto it over the 4 days.
