On Sunday 23rd June, Davepaddles assisted by A1 Sup Hire organised the second Tring AquaPaddle, we had 14 on the water with 5 water marshals and 2 land side marshals and 1 carpark attendant. (Thanks Pete)
It was a lovely hot day from the get-go, and everything went to plan.
After the safety briefing at about 08.50 and the little warm up paddle to the starting position we were all set.
The route had slightly changed as we had been informed that it was very slightly just over 5K last time.
Dave had re walked the route and re measured it, ensuring we hit 5K exactly the weekend before.
09:00 the whistle went, and everyone set off, 14 paddlers setting themselves a personal 5K time, some were returning paddlers, and some were new to this event and location.
Unfortunately, we had 3 no shows that had registered to start but didn’t attend although this had no effect on the event.
The fastest time logged was in a two-seater open cockpit kayak @ 32 mins 23 Secs.
The Fastest SUP time so far is 39 mins 23 Secs, set today.
