ThePaddler 56
It was great to watch and we only had one swimmer who decided to do it in a C1. I know, I thought the same thing. I honestly thought he was a goner; he disappeared for 20 seconds before surfacing, still deep in the woods with no immediate rescue on hand. Luckily for him, we had a solid safety crew on the bank and some pretty hand chase boaters including Bain. He wasted no time; recovered banana man then recovered his boat eventually after 2km of chasing.
It was a cool race, great footage. The novice events were all held on the lake, sun was shining and spirits were high. They all then went onto drink their body weight in beer and enjoy the rest of the party. The next morning, we said our goodbyes, packed the van and set the satellite navigation for Oslo.
