Nice pics Hilly,
Not sure what happened to the timing system, I was 3hrs25mins, Adam Quinn was definetly in front of me, I thought you were up there too but not sure.?
Just saw this on the site:
"Due to tecnical difficulties results from overall placing 196 and on may have incorrect times.
We are trying to rectify this as soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience."
Solid effort from everyone that made it,
Matt
Well done everyone, especially Jacko, sounds like a great race but hard work! Good to see hear you're back in the water Hilly.
Tough day but am glad I did it. It was great to meet new paddlers and other breezers such as Andy and Jacko.
I didn't have the most perfect board (Starboard 12'6" cruiser) but no excuses, gotta get more training in for next year. And as others have mentioned, when I finally came in after 4 hours and my wife saw my board next to everyone else's, she said that she couldn't believe that I made it on that thing and I need to get a new one for next year. Made the whole thing worth it
Now what to get?
I had a good chat with Dale Chapman at margs this morning and he had a sweet looking 14'. Maybe thats the go
Congrats on the win Jacko! Bummer we weren't home to catch you while you were over!
Shoulders are burning just thinking about that race!!!!
