A Craft to call our own

At long last we have a craft to call our own, after some extraordinarily competitive bidding going right down to the wire we "Won" in ebay's strange lexicon a K2 kayak in sunset red and yellow.

It is an extraordinarily stable beast with no rudder and weighing in at over 40kg, somewhat of an oil tanker in comparison to the whippet like racing K2s.

One toe in the water

It has taken us a while to take our first steps towards the water but with triathlon training coming to an end, it is time to start the long build up to the DW international canoe marathon. This will be our first attempt, Easter 2012, and we have decided to go for the non-stop senior doubles. I say attempt as there are always a large amount of people who do not make it to the start line let alone the end of 125miles kayaking with 77 "portages" or picking up your kayak and running with it, along the way. It is going to be a long cold winter!
