Flat water marathon season
Still a bit sad that I had to miss this years racing in Spain there was at least some kind of consolation. This year for the first time the province of KZN had a 4 race flat water marathon series. With SA champs and trials being on the same course it was perfect race practice for the big event.
In the first of the 4 warm-up events I won the singles.
The 2nd race was hotly contested with myself, Cam, Len and Brandon VdV making up the front bunch. In the end it was the determined Cam Schoeman taking the sprint with me in 2nd, followed by Brandon and Len.
Race 3 with most of the top guys in K2’s I had an easy win.
For the final race of the series Graeme Solomon flew up from Cape Town to join me in the K2. After an extremely physical race with more than enough barging and contact in the portage are, as well as its fair share of unnecessary drama, it was Cam and Brandon who snuck past us in the final seconds to take the win.
