Several days after competing in the King of Rangitoto race and my legs are still recovering.
The race was a surf ski paddle from Takapuna Beach to Rangitoto Island, followed by a run to the top and back down, then a paddle back. The paddle was interesting as a huge container ship stormed through the channel directly in our path. After paddling through the ship’s wash we had a hard steep run up the summit of Rangitoto. I was about 5th female across in the paddle, first back into the surf ski after the run - only just ahead of Maddie Boon a fellow Mairangi Bay surf life-saving member.
Maddie overtook me in to the beach to win by 8 seconds. I took out the Under 19 age group, 8 minutes ahead of second pace.
