The water level was pretty high and it was fun to paddle in this region.
The competition was fun and there where many spectators. The parties where sweet but didn’t beat the party’s of last year. Again I didn’t expect much of the race because I didn’t felt really fit.. but I did well and got about 73 out of the 113 competitors, beat about 20 men’s :). I as well got 3th out of the 6 Dutch paddlers.. and got first of the women’s so was quite happy with my score..
They award me because of the 1st place at the women’s and give me a crown and a sash, which made me feel a bit ridiculous..

Anyways the race was good as well for the free massage at the reload center, the colactive dinner and the parties. Pity again that there were not much woman to have an official category and to have to qualification on a harder couse than a class II.
