Results are now available for the slalom Yarra Series 3 race held at Griffiths Park over the weekend. Click here for results.
Despite the chilly morning all paddlers and crew were in high spirits as the sun shone across blue skies throughout the day. Over 50 competitors took on the challenge of a very technical course designed by Al Anderson, who took advantage of the low water levels and ensured all paddlers had their abilities tested as they moved through the course. A special mention goes to the Men’s U16 C1 class, where there was less than 2 seconds separating the top 5 paddlers which made for some very exciting racing.
There was plenty of delicious food available to keep spirits raised (and keep body temperatures raised as well!) including amazing BBQ food and homemade pumpkin soup.
A very big thank you to Eltham College Canoe Club for organising the race and to all the volunteers, paddlers and land crew who make these events possible.
