A good night for a race and a good turnout of racers. Duncan started the race and was never caught, Paul Clarke worked had to catch him but fell short, both recording Personal Best’s of around 2 minutes. Bill was next over the line with Terry chasing hard, both recording 30 second PB’s. Richard managed to just hold off Phil, both getting PB’s by seconds. The next group were around 60-90 seconds down on there PB’s with some hard paddling at the end to get over the line, in order, Paul Walker, Jono, Tim, Myself, Tony and Michael. We also welcomed back James Caspar with a good starter time.
