Race day Wednesday ~ By Nick Collier

Every Wednesday at Keeners we dedicate the entire day to fast lines and epic races. 
We started off the most recent Wednesday with a game of Sabre ball. This was ideal for getting the competitive vibes flowing. We then paddled over to McCoy’s rapid where we did the first only relay race of the day. The challenge of this race was that we had to look after a baton whilst kayaking, more importantly we had to avoid the various features that make up the McCoy’s rapid. This consisted of Phil’s hole and Saddler’s hole. The race went well with only 1 swim receiving huge cheers from the keeners.
The next race of the day was a timed race down through Garb. The challenges of this race was the seal-launch and ferry across the river. The results came in with Clay Wright taking the gold, followed by myself and then bronze was Sam Sharp.
In conclusion race day Wednesday is a sweet day designed to challenge the paddlers and encourage good paddle strokes and techniques.
