The race course was pretty interesting at Duluth. It was a very hot day and just kiwi vs aussies.
A big drop, an up in the middle of the flow and a very tight surf in a big hole that was fast enough to give you whiplash. Our guys sucked it up and raced pretty well considering the nature of the course.
Laurence was top kiwi in 3rd, Finn 4th , Carl 5th, Cole 6th. Marcus 10th.
Kelly won C1W.
In the evening we went back to the course at 6 for a great italian meal where we watched racing from the 90's (Yes I had a 10 second clip!!) and surf and big drop movies. Many of the team went for a SUP (Standup paddle board) on the lake, many with trembling knees, worried about falling in.
When we got back we shot down to lazer tag.......I found something I can beat the kids at still....top scorer on both games. We played 8 kiwis against 8 USA plus Cole and Laurence. NZ DOMINATED!! I think Laurence shot some yanks!!!!!
Just leaving now for the sprint race and a 10 hour drive to Chicago. Foxy left this morning to go to Ottawa for 10 days more paddling, with our usual airport dramas, 330am, closed roads, detours a forgotten paddle and a refused kayak.....so, the fun begins again!!
