K2 win at National Marathon Trials

Shaun and I had a very comfortable race today where we won the end sprint from MacGregor and Van der Walt.
There was a very large bunch of boats when we came into the first portage. As we paddled away from the put-in of the portage there were 2 boats that broke clear of the rest of the field, ourselves and MacGregor’s. The two lead boats gradually edged ahead of the rest of the filed and opened about a 2 minute gap by the finish line. In the bunch sprint for 3rd it was Solomon and White that took the bronze medal.

At this stage it appears that Rubenstein and Jenkins will be the two K1 representatives at the world champs in Portugal in September. The K2’s should be Myself/Rubenstein and Van der Walt/MacGregor.
