Several overnight paddle camping excursions to Vargas and Saranac Island.
Silver Duke Of Edinburgh
Ironman 70.3 in Edinburgh
My aim for this race is to pace myself and complete the race without making navigational errors (conditions dependent).
Having met previous YRQ paddle-board racers such as Norm Hann and hearing about what is needed to complete this race I have never wanted to be apart of something so badly in my life. The YRQ is one of a kind and it would mean the world to me if I was able to be a part it and to learn from the best paddlers in the world.
