“It was hot & I didn't wear enough suncream” is my alternative tagline, but what a day of watching world class paddlers on the Raundalselvi, blasting two or three laps (some were happy with one!), and talking to loads of keen paddlers.
As you can see, sunny as hell, and no shade. But great to see a section I lapped being raced, giving me more confidence.
I spent the evening looking at vans, so that when I come back next year (probably), I can drive my kayak(s) & paddle over, giving me more confidence on the water & hopefully better lines.
Spoke to a handful of the big names, and they headed off to Mrykdalen, so they could get more practice laps in. Slightly different to my thoughts of a cold shower & after sun…
