Paddlers converge on Homestead

The K1 (singles) championships were held on Saturday, May 7 while the K2 (doubles) championships were held on Sunday, May 8.

There was a good turnout of Gauteng paddlers from u-8 age level right through to grandmasters, considering that it was extremely hard work and offered good resistance training.

Saturday morning was extremely chilly with choppy water and thick mist, but the hardy paddlers in all age groups hit the water running to impress spectators with their skill and speed, getting in and out of the boats at portages with interesting competitive bunches jousting for positions on the laps.

With over 60 participants in the various age categories as well as another 13 in the Guppies age group, the water was busy as different age groups competed in different distances.

Sunday morning at Homestead was windy, cold and overcast, but paddlers toughed it out as they gained valuable training mileage as well as selection trials for the upcoming South African Marathon Championships in the Western Cape.
