Upper Swan race - 2023 WA Canoe Marathon Series - first 6km from K2 POV

Ben Hewitt and I paddling a Knysna Rush K2 on the first starting grid. This was a 26km race. The first 5km of the race are paddled into the river flow which was quite fast today due to heavy rainfall recently. The Division One singles started 2 minute behind and the top Div One paddlers caught us within 4km as the K2's stayed away from the banks while the K1's hugged the banks.
