Paddling (Ascot - big fat double) 58:34 8.96 km (9.2 kph) +6m
ahr:121 max:138
SandgropAR paddle session. Pretty much our only chance for a full team paddle session before Grant heads to NZ for a paddle and Dan finishes holidays and heads back to London. So super silly start time meant I had to be up at 4am, hang my washing out in the cold and dark to get to ascot for 5:30 :(
Grant had arranged to borrow a matching pair of double big fat kayaks. I paddle with Dan on the way out, then he swapped with Grant for the way back. Boats seemed similarly paced either way. I wouldn't have wanted to put much more effort in since I've barely paddled lately and the rest of the team paddle way too much.
Dan eventually realised that one of the boats was his old boat from when he'd done the Avon with his wife years ago. The other boat turns out Grant had asked the wrong person if we could borrow it and when we got back the actual owners were trying to work out where it had gone when they came down for their first paddle for a while, oops. Surprisingly they weren't particularly irate with the situation.
