41 competitors enjoyed perfect conditions today, with blue skies and no wind, resulting in good times all round despite a 4 week break. Simon Harradence backing up from last race at 49.41 – that 4 week break slowed him down by only 7 seconds! Kyle Mooney (51.37) and Christian Andrews (53.17) rounded out the top 3 – Well done guys! Mind blowing stuff for us mere mortals!
Great to see a bunch of racers returning for their first race of the season now that the borders are fully opened – welcome back, we missed you!
Thanks to Dave DQ de Closey for not racing and providing the timing for the day with Amy (and many others unavailable due to close contact isolation – including our usual front desk Registrar – sorry Kev, Michelle just wasn’t as professional with the money handling.
