1066 and all that

Well done to everyone who turned out to race at Tonbridge for the Hastings Canoe Club 1066 marathon.

The juniors who stayed on after their race to cheer the competitors in the later races were especially appreciated. The instruction from Jordan (Hey Mike get onto Dad's wash!) was well intentioned but as I had done that twice already, once when said Dad had overtaken me from the following race, then tragically just before the last portage, I really had no oomph left. On reflection, I had no oomph start with!!

Mark George of Hastings Canoe Club sent me this message,
Please pass on my thanks to your paddlers that entered today's 1066 Marathon at Tonbridge, I hope everyone enjoyed the event. We had 98 entrants making for some good racing and the weather was much kinder than the forecast! The results are available on our website. Thanks to Tonbridge CC for once again allowing us to use their excellent facilities.

Consider the good wishes passed on!
