Liffey Descent 2011
caz:
Hey is anyone heading to the Lower Liffey race this Sat? Should be fun!
Karen:
Should be dry dry dry though.
caz:
Really? North West is flooded. I just remembered I'm supposed to be running a Surfski race in Clare tomorrow...
I have no idea how to use a Surfski :o :-[
Gareth:
Just Wondering for those who've done the Decent before, you wouldnt wear all the same gear as you would on a normal river trip would ya ???. wetsuit, thermals, cag ?? Just thinking with the distance you have to go, u'd be knackerd if ur wearing all that gear ?? Any advice would be great
kmck:
Most people who race wear very little, I've seen people paddle with just a B/aid and deck. I'd would go for a rash vest, platypus/camel pack, helmet, maybe neoprene shorts or longish shorts and good booties as you do need to walk a bit to the get on and for the portage. It's later than normal and this may influence your choice.
I haven't raced it and any long distance I was on, I was more likely to be nice a warm due to liver damage to need much.
