GP3 – 3 days of competiton and three days of grey skies, rain, and a southerly but that didn't keep the smiles off the faces of our Busters. Everyone did very well with 8 1/2 pb's and everyone making a or b finals in at least one discipline. Full results below for our competing athletes.
Thank you to Brian, super coach and driver of the club trailer with all our gear – thank you Brian. Thanks also to our supporters, parents and friends who came out to watch and cheer on the gang.
Our athletes learnt a couple of expensive lessons in following all the rules and checking every progression – never assume anything, check twice! 🙂
Thank you to Australian Canoeing for running the event. Although we would like to see the prices come down on entry – $150 for an open racer ( anyone 18 and over) is just getting a bit exclusive. Kids at uni working jobs to pay for their courses and rent are finding it a stretch to meet these costs. No free uni for these kids.
Competitors, of whom 9 are also surf life savers included
Opens – Nick Dawe, Paul Bates
U/23's – Danielle Polson,
Luke Moses, Arnold Graf, Mitch Hughes, Robert Berzins, Sam Speer
u/18's – Danielle McMahon, Nikki Glasson
There are a lot of photos on our club facebook page if you want to see them 🙂
