With Graeme steering his teva nui, we warmed up from Burrard (roughly 5km), 35min to the start. Outside the Albatross, we had a great start to the first buoy, and started picking off the first 3 oc1's. Unfortunately G's leg started to go to sleep, I could feel the canoe shifting and bouncing, he started typ struggle at about 4km in. At the turn, he was unable to use his left leg at all to depress the left rudder.
A very tough race for him! But he persevered and we maintained our position, with just one oc1 catching up to us at the final buoy turn home to the finish line.
