15
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:38,640

00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: Okay, it was actuallyn't go.

19
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 3: For a while, but oh yeah, it was made it

20
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 3: a wild ride down the river.

21
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: That's terrain craft.

22
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: Yet nobody wants to lift that. No, no, no, they're

23
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 3: quite heavy by the end of it. Yeah.

24
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 4: I would imagine over these that number of views you've

25
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 4: had a few times you've had to lift them up.

26
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 4: And we've had low rainfall as opposed to a near

27
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 4: record rainfall this time.

28
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: Ah. Yes, there are some years where I've definitely walked

29
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 3: what it feels like more than half of the race

30
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 3: carrying you.

31
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that people do it in power boats, kayaks, squeeze.

32
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: I didn't realize people were doing the sme thing on

33
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,559
Speaker 1: a stand up paddle for well.

34
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: Really what yah? We had we had our first better

35
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: to do the first the whole race on a stand

36
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 3: up paddle board. That is amazing.

37
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,880

38
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 4: So what what were you in?

39
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:39,920

Speaker 2: Yes, you're you're you're.

41
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: You're sensible, very good. So how does one prepare for

42
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: the Avon descent?

43
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 3: We do have as part of the club, we have

44
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: races each month. Okay, so we are we are in

45
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: the boat quite frequently, but for the Oven descent, it's

46
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: normally a boat building frenzy.

47
00:01:59,440 --> 00:01:59,800

Speaker 4: Are the times, especially when you've got such so much

52
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 4: water around up to this record rainfall where your Meryl

53
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,880

Speaker 3: and we feel like we were quite happy with our event.

58
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 3: We did not go upside down once. We stayed upright

59
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 3: the whole time, not necessarily in the boat, but definitely upright.

60
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 2: Well done.

61
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,760

Speaker 1: do anything exciting.

67
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 3: This is well my I mean personally, I always feel

68
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: like I'm about to throw up before I actually start

69
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: one of these races. Fabulous, so nervous, and then you

70
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,239

Speaker 4: what you're doing.

80
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: I tend to be a little bit more focused. My

81
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 3: driver is very very vocal about it. He is very

82
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,760
