I was there thanks to the enthusiasm of a couple of work mates who were keen to have an old guy in their Team........I must be like a Grandfather figure to them :-)
Luckily I didn't slow them down too much and the Welly Fire Team came 1st in the Corporate Teams Section.Thanks to Matt Morris (MTB) and Joe Konlechner (run) for twisting my arm.
Note my workmates.......I'm 6ft 3.........and I'm the shortest!.....I must be shrinking eh :-)
Big Thanks to the Wellington Fire Brigade Rec Club and the Wellington Fire Canteen for sponsoring our Teams entry and Welly Paddlers who sponsored our Team shirts.....you didn't see them today they are in transit with New Zealand Couriers :-)
The best part of the day was catching up with all our local paddling mates from the Kupe Canoe Club and the Welly Paddlers "Cold Kiwi Series" group. Also awesome to catch up with Phil Dooney and Aaron Cox who are former World White Water Team Champions and still very handy at multisport.
The smidgen of work we all put in for Martin Van Barneveld worked a treat, thanks to John at Fergs Kayaks Wellington for passing on a miss match in proposed kayak hire, Fergs Kayaks, Think Kayak New Zealand, Welly Paddlers and Chester.....and of course Martin for being a great student.
In the meantime here's a few photos to wet your appetite.
Also a few photos from Pirate Pete Notman launching his wood laminated SUP at Hataitai Beach on Saturday morning.
Finally Big thanks to Sharlene I've had two busy days working for Think Kayak and Sharlene has been there cleaning up after me foods supply to keep up with the workload has been constant so has the alkl round support work and photos today.
