FLCC Long Distance Regatta

BCKCers participated in Saturday's 2 and 6 km races held on the Fraser River at historic Fort Langley. The top photo is the start of the bantam/midget women's 6 km race in which BCKCers Emily, Kiran and Rebecca competed. The middle photo shows a close race between Kiran and a Gig Harbor paddler in their 2 km event. The bottom photo is Jeff and Dan competing in the 2 km K2 race. Other BCKC athletes who competed in the regatta included Jim, Conor, Katja, Darrell and John. BCKC parents Debbie, Dave and Kamal volunteered their time to officiate, drive a safety boat and record at the finish line. The FLCC team and CKBC officials did a fantastic job in running this event. It was great to have athletes from Saskatchewan, Alberta and Washington State join the BC paddlers for this regatta. We were treated to a calm and sunny day once the morning fog lifted off the river.

Another day in BCKC paradise

Today the weather was fantastic, cool and dry for the run and the sun came out while we got in our boats. Jeff R, Dan and Jeff B ran the lake trail this morning. The on water group consisted of Jeff B (C1), Lauren (C1/K1), Krista, Katja, Dan (all in K1), Jeff R and Jim (both in K2/K1).

Sunday Training is back!

The weather conditions were excellent for the inaugural Sunday run/paddle session of this off-season. Jeff, Dan, Katja, Heide, Krista, Fred and Anouk took part in the run or walk around at least a portion the lake trail. Paddling were Rikst (C1), Lauren (C1 & K1), Krista, Heide, Dan, Katja, Jeff and Jim (all in K1's). This was Krista's return to a kayak following the birth of her daughter Anouk in early August.
