Sligo Kayak Club braved the elements and horrible earliness of the hour on Sunday the 6th of September to provide safety and support boating at the Lough Key Triathlon. It was a large event with about 300 participants. Our contribution to the event was small but important, and ended quite quickly. So after (free!) tea and muffin time we went whitewater boating on the Boyle. We made some new paddling friends, and met up with some old ones too. Namely Kevin Currid and his gang from Lough Allen Adventure Centre.
Well done to Alice Reynolds for her work in organising the water safety, and a mega big thanks to Susanne, Gunner, Caroline, Micheal, Shirley, Sean and Seamus for coming out under such tough conditions and doing the job.
