A great night for paddling with some sharp times recorded. Martina led the way with a 5 minute PB, great job. Geoff was next over the line with a 3 minute PB. Following him was Adam and Jono with 100 and 60 second PB’s respectively. Terry was back in the state and was about 30 seconds behind last time. Paul started late, but paddled to record a 10 second fastest time. following was Tim and Mark 40-50 seconds slower and Richard off his traditionally late start was about 10 seconds outside his best.
Thanks to Paul Clarke for timing, it s much appreciated. All the times are below.

Guntime for next week will be at 6:30pm. If you miss your start time you can still race, have your time recorded and score points. New paddlers will be able to set their handicap time.
The end of year BBQ will be after the race on the 20th December, the race format will be a little different so we spend less time on the water and more around the BBQ.
Check the main Hadspen page for more details.
See you all on Tuesday.
