THERE'S NO AYE! IN TEAMS

It was our teams’ practice day today, with our U23MK1, U18MK1 and U23WK1 trios giving it a blast. With 6 Teams' World Titles among our coaching staff, we should fair well in this – you judge for yourselves:

For clarity, when Hannah Thomas joins Kensa Randle and Courtney Williams in the U23WK1 Team on actual race day, she will use a double paddle! Callums Aitken and Gilbert and Jack Dangen will make up the U23MK1 Team; Taylor Harris, Oliver Puchner and George Snook will be the U18MK1 Team; and Hannah will be joined by Rivey Mutton and Lotte Rayner in the U18WK1 Team.

Incidentally, an apology to Lotte: When naming the Extreme Team the other day I incorrectly included Hannah in the U18WCSLX, when indeed it will be Lotte with Rivey, both having earned their spot through the National Extreme Championships at Vector Wero in January.

Excitingly, the Extreme comp will be wholly scheduled on Sunday 21st after all the individual events have finished, with the Teams races book-ending the start of competition on Tuesday 16^th.

Team theme continued away from the water, with Tournament 500 gathering momentum. For those who understand such things, here’s the draw, the rules and the points score. If you notice anything dodgy, please tell Callum….!

When you've set the rules, made the draw, and are the only guy playing - surely they'll let you win!!?
