We were lucky with the weather as it was fine and warm. Rob removed his jacket at the start - good move. Coming back against the flow was tough and quite a few paddlers decided it was faster to run along the bank - which it was. If you are fit enough to run with your kayak quite quickly for quite long distances then why not. We stuck with the paddling. When we did portage early I found the extended running hard this week. In general we pick up places every time we portage. This week I wasn't thinking straight and my portaging approach was poor on four or five occasions. Even so, we still picked up places. A tough race but we were pleased with the result.
