Blue Lakes Regatta 2

We have been back in New Zealand for two months and training has been intensive and consistant.
Rishan competed at the CRNZ Blue Lakes Regatta 2 and showed some very positive progress. The weather was fantastic and water conditions were the same. There was some very talented paddlers in the woman's U19 event which proved to be extremely competitive for the top 3 places.
Rishan progressed to the A finals in the 200m and 500m K1 events. She placed 3rd in her 200m final behind Kayla Imrie and Aimee Fisher. In her 500m final Rishan placed 4th behind Julie Sweetman from the North Shore Club.

A very positive weekend had by all and we look forward to the CRNZ Champs in February 2011.
