18th June 2013
One of the outstanding paddles of the day though, went to Stella Canoe Clubs (KZN) Lee McGregor. McGregor, a Grandmaster (i.e. 60 - 64 years), starting in 'C' batch, powered away to catch and pass all of those paddlers in 'B' batch and work his way into the 'A' batch paddler's to come home in 2:39:14 to record 9th place overall, an excellent result especially as he paddled alone for virtually the entire day.
Again on Day 2, Grandmaster Lee McGregor made inroads into the ranks of the 'youngsters' around him to record an excellent time of 3:09:19 to finish 7th overall with the time of 5:48:33. Any finishing time under 6 hours for this event is a top-rated one and so now the question everyone must be asking, will he be racing the 2013 Berg? Because of he does, another McGregor could well be re-writing some of the records in this iconic race!
