YES... it finally happened! Our final race night in series 1, and what a close way to finish our first and probably Irelands first ever SUP Race Series. With almost perfect conditions at Sandycove and a huge number of sun worshipers lining the beach, the boys headed up to Bullock harbour to do battle for the final time on this challenging course. Fran led out the crew with almost 4 minutes on Terry and Ed, with Tim a further 3 min behind. Frans Sea Kayak friends made things difficult for him forcing him on a wide line from the start. Terry took offf like a mad possesed and kept up a strong pace right to the finish setting a PB in the process. Ed started strong but eased off blaming a dodgey ice cream he had earlier with Mr Whippy. Tim paddled hard from start to finish also setting a PB and earning valuable bonus points in the process. After a short while adjusting times from handicaps, we came up with the following times for the last night: 1. Fran 24.03 2. Terry 21.34 PB 3. Tim 19.24 PB 4. Ed 24.37 The overall results for the Series were as follows: Joint 1ST: Terry and Tim. 3TH: Fran. 4TH: Ed.
Well done to everyone who took part!
