Another active day of paddling in preparation for the Pageant.
Another active day of paddling in preparation for the Pageant.
There were visitors from Perth, Australia, Worcester Busters as well as members’ friends so Artemis Diana was easy to fill.
Peter helmed the boat through calmer waters in the morning but the wind picked up and the temperature dropped in the afternoon. Paddlers built their strength and stamina in sustained periods of paddling over 1000 metre distances at different rates and intensities with a couple of race set pieces to add to the variety.
Meanwhile a few supporters ‘borrowed’ a rowing boat as Lucy was away for some maintenance work.
A pleasant hour was passed ‘circling’ parts of Low Wood Bay with occasional pursuit of Artemis. With a couple of notable exceptions it would be recommended that members stick to paddling rather than rowing!
Got something to say?
