Mitchell was the lone Southside representative in the GP2 Sprint Regatta and did us proud over the weekend in Ngambie, Victoria . Conditions were quite windy and affected lanes quite differently in the event.
Mitch came away with 10 races under his belt in k1, k2 and k4. He was very happy with his 2nd place in the k1 1000. Times were not as quick as gp1, but racing is about racing and not about the times, even though we all love to see a pb. Congratulations Mitch.
