not that I race very often these days but I do enjoy the fight afterwards over who blew it, which of course, is never myself

??? The team events at the Inter Clubs are always the highlight of the event.

Those doing the team runs at Abbey Rapids looked like they were having fun. I think there were 17 teams in all so well worth the organisers running them

19 teams, and in an interesting order! well done to all, especially, those who made up the team names!

Old. Fat. Slow. Bad tempered. And those are my good points

Ah, the order was specially designed to ensure that timing and judges were all awake 
The short interval time was designed to ensure that they were both awake AND paying attention :p

Munchkin obviously sending them down tooooo fast to count - yes there were 19 and most went down at one minute intervals as per the start list (in her defence) until judges and control started to loose too much hair. Sue must have had hot fingers in control sorting out all the finish impulses. It was fun in so many ways although I have never seen less likely 'Three Princesses' - they definitely needed to club together for a razor!

Ah, not quite, they started at 90 seconds then I actually read the start list and went down to 60 seconds... It all seemed to be going well until the swimmers...!!!

I think the team run was awesome, great to see lots of people giving it a go. And I thought all of us in the 3 princesses were very feminine :rock: Thanks for the name Anne

I think team runs always were a great part of canoe slalom, a bit of highly sociable (slightly) less serious fun. Just like at Abbey Rapids.
Bring 'em on...
