Ahh its not that long, i did it last year while really really sick!!! It would have taken less time if i didnt help rescue the girl beside me who swam at the starting line

(dont worry she wasn't one of us!)

Jody that makes it even more worrying. First Sara helps someone, now I find out you did. Compete, people, compete! seriously!

We are hoping to do well this year, not just goober about, so are there any applicants who actually want to paddle quickly and non-stop? please?

JODY · January 19, 2007, 19:00:26

I couldnt help it she wouldnt let go of my boat..... wait thats a good idea lets just stop any fast paddlers from other clubs by swimming!!!

I still managed to beat all the other ucders in the catagory but we were all pretty close to the end

Last year i had to stop to help jen whos boat was half full of water because the bung wasnt in! haha!And we still werent last! Woohoo!

JODY · January 19, 2007, 19:07:35

Why dont we just stick to the safe option & make Killian win again?

Diarmid, the rules of the competition say if someone swims near you, you're required to help them or you get disqualified

Ha who'd a thunk it!

Lambe · January 22, 2007, 20:50:14

Simon R. · January 29, 2007, 16:54:18

hmmm...i'd deffo be up 4 the short one, though 5km aint that short. why teams btw..can it not be done in regular kayaks or is that just mindnumbingly boring?

Ríona · January 30, 2007, 18:20:46

we took the GTs out last year

Simon R. · January 31, 2007, 09:36:35

sure you'd walk the feckin thing in about 10mins.........

Sick Boy · January 31, 2007, 12:40:56

yah alf, it will be done in just regular kayaks, if i can get my racers back off the pickey ba*+ards who took em then some people will use them.

just so you are under no illusions i would not in a fit even appempt to tie a canadian to a trailer to haul it to letterkenny. also the topoduo has been all but retired.
