The first Hadspen race for the year, a clear and sunny night with a touch more flow than usual. Kamaia led the race back with a solid 1 minute Personal Best, followed by Paul with a 15 second PB, great paddling guys. Phil Nelson, Mark and Martina followed in soon after each being about a minute faster than there previous bests. Richard turned up a bit later and with the timer off on a paddle his start time was a bit of an estimate. We welcomed Claye back to the Hadspen races with a reasonable time with some room for improvements. Race times are below.
