Second overall for the event and FIRST in the 2014 series !
I had the whole day off on Friday because it takes us seven hours to get to Derwent from the south coast.
On the Saturday we launched as planned but then the wind dropped and the 4.2s just rafted up for about an hour. Then we paddled in but everyone else got a lift straight away except me and Ben O'D so we paddled three quarters of the way in ourselves. We had an hours lunch because there still wasn't enough wind. When we did get out we did 3 races and I came 3rd, 3rd and a 4th, I was quite happy with the day.
On Sunday morning the wind was good as forecast so we got straight out as planned and did four races back to back with a break for lunch out on the water. In the races I came 2nd in all of them. This put me up a place into 2nd overall for the event!!!!
Finally we had the results for the overall series.... I won the series by 1 point to Coco. I'd like to thank everyone for great compition and especially Coco for great competition all year round.
Well done to Calum, Lucy and Jack for coming top 3 overall in the 5.3 series.
I'd like to thank my personal sponsors Virtual Rigger, Gul and 1610 for the great support all year round.
Hope to see everyone in Pwhelli for the Worlds + Nationals
