When I bought my new boat years ago I had a special seat made up for it to replace the standard one that came with it. One of those longer marathon seats that goes under your thighs. Made a massive difference to my comfort level in the boat. Your arse is a temple in kayaking.

Just saw your post, I have got a bumfortable seat and also got Horizon kayaks to make a base for it. I have to sort out the final position I have played around in the past few weeks. Happy with what I have but I am going to do one final change this week and that will be that.

Did almost 50km over the weekend.

Only 4 weeks to go.

Poor result from last weekends marathon series race. Had to retire at the 10km mark. Have been seeing the physio all this week every second day and it seems to have worked. 10km paddle this morning, I pushed hard paddling against the tide to the 5km mark and returning with it. 38mins on the outward 5km & 22 min back. No cramping and relatively pain free.

Famil series event next weekend, 30+km from Sackville to Wisemans Ferry.

$457 Raised

Marathon series race this weekend!

Look out I am going to have a game!!

Muirfield on Monday with Jimandr, Sydney Hacker & Parmaster.

Only played there once and it was way back in 06 playing pennants for Mac Grange. I played ok that day to square the match so we shall see if I remember any of the holes after 4 years.

$387 now raised.

Also building up on the fitness, longer paddle this Sunday a tad over 20 km.

Thanks to all OzGolfers that have sponsored me in this event.

Thanks to those here that have donated to this great cause.

Have started a blog at the following

http://hawkesburyclassic2010.blogspot.com/

After a few weeks of no success, today was a great day. The Kayak for the classic has been found. A Horizon Flyer, a pure speed machine. Pick up on Saturday.

Happy is not the emotion that was had today, walked around the house doing the YES! YES! calls after my offer was accepted over the phone.

Also to note that all sponsorship monies raised so far have come from OzGolf. Nice work guys.

$63 to go until entry is confirmed

Still no new Kayak, nothing poping up at the moment. Limiting my budget to $1000.
Going to try some next Sunday morning.

Land crew? Just pack a lunch and stay in the boat.

Rachelle has officially resigned as Land Crew for the Classic. Anyone want to assist Dotty?

The entry is in. Bring on 23-24 October!!
