0.34m on Toodyay gauge. Shallow! Slow. Gruelling. Took me 40 mins longer than last year (not much training this year). I reckon I ran aground 10 times and got out and walked 3 or 4 times (lots of others too), and annoyingly I had a swim at Glen Avon after the second drop (not much of a swim - it wasn't deep enough). Compulsory portage at Extracts. Frustrating when you pick the wrong line and get stuck on a sand bank or a rock (clearly I'm not great at picking lines in shallow water). Grinding in shallow water was made worse by weed and logs. Really hope there's some rain before the AD - otherwise it's going to be a slow and tiring first day. And I should have worn gloves - blisters on both hands. I'm glad I did it / enjoyed finishing. Paul, Jonty and Hamish - support crew.
