April 2016 My first creek race (North Esk)

April 17th 2016

A river I've paddled often but never thought I would race on.  Brilliant sunshine and a reasonably kind water level meant it was a simple enough challenge.  My run was timed at 6.22 minutes which meant I was placed about 25% down the group.  With hindsight I wish I'd stayed on for the "Iron man" version in the afternoon,... maybe next year.


Pretty flat water at the start for a grade 3/4 river!
