Did the race in 2022

Organisation could have been better. Water was low so the exit from the lake was very hard with mud and sharp stones. It meant the chip time was a little misleading as it took some time to get across the mat as I was not prepared to risk falling or cutting my feet. More matting or even a floating pontoon would have helped. Other than that it was brilliant and I knocked 10 mins off my previous 5km time (using my garmin time not the chip time).
