WS 2017-18 Race 2: Cheshunt Results

20/11/2017

 
Despite a bitterly cold weekend, the turnout for the Cheshunt Winter Series race was a good one, with 126 competing over 3, 6 or 8 miles on the River Lea.

The race was notable for the number of Canadian canoes taking part, as these have been declining in recent years. As well as the four boats in the C2 race (won for the second time in succession by Anna Maria and Stefanie of CAM), there were five C1s. David Shipway (LBZ) competed on the short course in Class 16, while four others (Paul Stenning of LBZ, Andy Porter of CLM and independents Ross Pearton and Nicholas Boyd) took on the 6-mile course - Paul won the medal for first C1.

The organisers and volunteers of HYM-COPS - the smallest of the clubs who host the Winter Series - worked very hard to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. They also ran a raffle to raise funds for Crisis at Christmas.
​Class winners were:
Class 1 (Senior K2) - Alex Bunyon & Ryan Ingham (CLM)

WS 2017-18 Race 1: Stortford Results

7/11/2017

 
There were 145 paddlers at this event with large fields for Class 1 (Senior K2) and Class 7 (Ladies K1 & Advanced C1). The largest number of boats was for Class 3 (Veteran Mens) - a record breaking 24 entries, of whom nearly half were SuperVets.

It seemed to be a day for breaking things. First the printer broke so we were not able to display any results, and then one of the K2 crews (Neil Boast & Chris Sze) broke a paddle just after the second portage - yet still carried on to complete the race. Big thanks to Keith Moule for paddling back down the course to take them a spare kayak blade so they could finish in style.
No course records were broken, however - though Emma Russell in Ladies K1 did come very close by completing the 5-mile course in 45:05. The ladies record still stands at 44.44, set by Vicky Surrage in 2007.
