The pesky SG is back, after a brief viral hiatus.
Despite the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, our sport is almost back to normal.
Due to a significant amount of backroom toil, especially from the she boss and her sidekick (who I am married to) we were one of the first federations "allowed back".
Unlike most other federations, we have even managed to sneak in almost all of our most important national championships. The St. Francis weekend allowed us the opportunity to tick off the SA marathon champs and the SA S1 champs. The SA S2 champs being decided at the King of the Bay the month before, and the SA river champs (both K1 and K2) being held on the Orange river over the same weekend earlier this month.
During the initial phase of the "opening of competition" there was an understandable reluctance by some of the race organisers to delve into the paperwork mire that is required, and the odd white flag was raised. |
