The kayak regatta was a great success - the girls even managed to pick up a first place and three seconds, which is pretty damn good for a first go.
Far more importantly though, they spent the whole weekend laughing and mucking around with their mates, supporting their team-mates and being amongst some of the top people in the sport, including some of the guys who were at the Olympics. We thought they'd crash out in the car on the way home as it was a long hard weekend, but they were high as kites as didn't stop gabbing the whole three hours. Brilliant stuff - just a shame we now have to wait until April for the next one.
