Well done to Leah and Ruth who placed 2nd and 3rd respectively in the latest Brass Monkey Series. This is an awesome result given the tight competition where all of the top paddlers in the grade beat each other over the five race series. Well done to all Complete Performance athletes who took part in this fantastic Kayak Series.

Posted on August 31, 2009
I thought that I had to share my CRAZY day training yesterday!! WHAT A DAY
Yesterday we got up morning and went kayaking got back to where we get in and we leave our jandals under the ramp, to find some little s**t there, with jandals out from under the ramp and sams tshirt had had ready to steal he got up and hooned of in a hurry! We then proceeded to go for a run and decided that we would dodge the bird that attacked us last week so we ran through the park and came across birds which had us bailed up so we turned around and thought we would go another way got 30min along and got stopped because there was a SNAKE!!! It was at least 2m long, I was not running past it so I said to sam the days over so we turned around ran home jumped in the pool haha!! WHAT A DAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Bring on NZ running where I don’t have to worry about whats going to crawl out in front of me!

Brass Monkey Race 4
Posted on August 3, 2009
Congratulations to all those that raced the forth Brass Monkey Kayak race yesterday. Well done to Rosie Shakespeare that won the open women’s division by a mere 4 seconds, this means that race 5 will be the decider – go hard Rosie! Well done to Ruth Chapman also that placed third in her section, up against faster boats this is a fantastic achievement. Miles Watson achieved another PB in his third kayak race and achieve second place in his category (not bad considering he was last in his first outing). Well done to Leah Bateman who also placed second in her division. Keep up the awesome work team and all the best for the final race in the series in a fortnight.

My first ride for a few weeks, Mark got spat out the back early on but Graeme got a 4th place (bunch sprint at the end)”
