Results – FACC Handicap Race #7
Another great turnout today with 13 paddlers for today’s monthly handicap race held this morning at Footscray. The usual Melbourne wind seemed to blow in no direction other than head-on, ensuring times were a bit down on usual and allowing paddlers like yours trully to blame something other than my poor paddling fitness and balance – but we all still had fun.

Thanks to Neil for managing the race.
Handicap races are scheduled throughout the year, are raced over 10kms, usually on a Sun morning, and are open to all members and guests. Since it’s a handicap it matters not how good you are against others, but how good you are against yourself. Handicap races cost nothing and are a great way of improving on your times without the formalities of a race. There just that extra incentive when someone is chasing you up to the line…
