Worcester!

There weren’t that many paddlers from the club at Worcester on Sunday, but many people did well. Alice, Tadek and I paddled in div 9 and our race was the first of the sets of divs. Unfortunately Alice started next to a C1 which cut across a lot of boats and cut her completely off and Tadek also got held up but they recovered. But then Alice’s footrest broke and so Mick had to do a quick fix however Alice managed to over take four people!

The course had been changed to a new one which was easier as it was just up and down. Alison, Heather and Geordie, Kath and Donna also passed by on the race and they looked to be paddling well!

Afterwards we watched Rex win the div 4 K1, Mick do a great portage and Craig’s finish too! Not to forget Max’s fly by the finish line and win the under 10 lightenings!

As well as having a great race, the weather was lovely as it was forecast to rain all day although there was a bit of showers during div 4,5&6’s race.

My results were very pleasing as I won div 9 and was also promoted to div 7! Overall it was a great day and I’m really glad Mick talked me into racing, thanks!
