A good turn out for the first race of the year. Cold but no ice and not too windy. Having done well last year the handicapper nobbled my start time so I finished well down and didn't see much of those that did well. Jo won on what I think was her first outing for a long time with John Smith only 2 seconds behind. There were some other close finishes and I see that, on elapsed time, there was only 1 second difference between Jo and Andy - so there could be a bit of rivalry building up in the Mayland houshold. A few people had to portage but otherwise I don't think there were any major incidents.
Next race is Feb 11th
