A hard night on the water, flow was up slightly more than forcing everyone to work hard. Donelda had a cracking race knocking nearly four minutes off her time trial to take the race win. Geoff managed to sneak past me at the end by less than a meter to take second place. It was a slower night with most paddlers being a bit off their best.
Thanks to Phil Nelson for timing, race times are below.
