We were up at 03:15 this morning to get to the river and wish good luck to Martin and the Change a Life paddlers.  Now we are at the end of Day 1 and what a great finish!  Eric and Thomas made Dusi history by being the first two black paddlers to finish on the podium – in 3^rd position.  We were all so excited to see our guys coming in with 6^th, 9^th, 11^th and 18^th – we have 10 in the Top 20.  Kwanda and Lance are leading the under 21s.

This year’s event is the K2 boats with their doubles crews. Martin has tipped Michael Mbanjwa and Ant Stott to take the race this year – at present they are lying in 2^nd position.

The press is keeping Martin busy and our Change a Life team is getting huge media attention.

Tomorrow is a big day – more paddling than running –  we have every confidence that our guys will continue to shine.

You can catch all the action on SuperSport One this evening at 20:00.
