Well, what a fantastic day it proved to be for the 5th race in the BQA Trophy. Amazing performances from some amazing athletes, & very professional work by marshals/radio-controllers/time-keepers/photographers/safety-boat drivers/course-checkers/sweepers/first-aiders…..The feedback has been amazing – it seems that our courses were challenging, our post-event food was great, the atmosphere buzzed & that the overwhelming feeling was one of fulfilment & enjoyment. Congratulations to #TeamFabian4 as ever they produced a superbly organized race for all the athletes!
