V14. Actually covered 21km in this race. Good cool conditions and lots of company as we did 6 x 3.5km laps. Went out pretty hard and felt it at the back end :) Great day. Thanks to Brisbane Paddlers for really well organised event.

V14. Perfect conditions for racing. Enjoyed a bit of drafting including sharing the load with Jamie mid-race. Really enjoyable day. This is one of the nicest racing spots. Super organised and supportive. Love ya work Sandgate!

Race report

V14. Great fun race with the 18k doing the 12k (to the Duck Pond) then 6k loop. Breezy at first but then dropping. Enjoyed some drafting as well as some side by side racing (as in photo). Happy with my effort and time. 10th out of 14 Div 2 18k racers. Plenty of inspiring competitors. Thanks to CCPC & PQ for a very well organised event.

Happy with my effort and time. Don't think I dropped off too much at any stage. Thanks to Erin for assisting with my time entry.

Race report

V14. Solo in choppy conditions on Lake Samsonvale. Tried to do a negative split (and succeeded) but my average speed was slower than my 18 k speed two weeks prior. Bit of chop would have contributed but probably went a bit too slow for the first 3 km, etc. Will try a faster start next time. Thanks PaddleQLD and fellow competitors.

Race report

V14. Solo in calm early morning conditions on Enoggera Dam. Happy with my time. Thanks to PaddleQLD for coordinating and the other competitors for competing!

Race report

15km circumnavigation of Macleay Island. Used the Indooroopilly Canoe Club's Epic V8 ski as 30kn winds forecast and realised. 60 craft including outriggers and doubles, raced in the challenging conditions. 12 were single skis paddled by 50-59 year men. I came 10th (Ray was ahead of me but his number had come off). I was pleased to complete my first 'open water' course and look forward to the next one of these. The organisers did a great job!!

Race report

K1 (Cleaver) on Enoggera Dam in calm (perfect) conditions. My best time on the Cleaver so far but still 3 mins behind Ski (V14). Nice to have another virtual race, thanks organisers.
