RESULTS FROM ROUND 2 OF THE PWC SLALOM SERIES 2010
Round 2 of the PWC Slalom Championship.
The members of South Meath PWC and PB club hosted round 2 of the PWC Slalom championship on Sunday 18th of July. The event was one of a large number of programmed activities scheduled over the weekend for the Clogherhead prawn festival. On the Saturday they managed to break the world record when 525 people were buried up to the head on little Strand .
In relation to our own event we had 25 competitors signed up for the day. We started to gather at Oriel Pier around 9.30am. Uel and the lads from the North West club arrived shortly afterwards with the Quad / slalom etc. We set about setting up the Slalom which took and hour or so. The tide was at its lowest during the morning and the slip was steep and slippy so it took a bit of man power and ropes as well as the Quad to launch the skis!
With the slalom and ski’s all in the water we held a pre start safety talk with all the competitors, Coast guard, River rescue and emergency services. Eugene had a running order for each of the classes and we kicked off with the stand ups around 1.30pm. We ran through all the classes and finished up with the high speed run about 6pm. Eugene and Sean did great work all day coordinating things from the slip. While Prionsias and Damien set up shop on the bank with stop watches and kept everyone informed of the times that were being set out on the course. The lads from LD helped Declan with the Marshal work assisted by two rescue boats that stayed on standby all afternoon.
The weather closed in late in the afternoon but as we were wet it didn’t stop the fun. As the event drew to a close some of the ambulance crew expressed and interest in a run out on the skis. Well we were only too happy to bring them out for a bit wave jumping around the back of the pier. They came back soaked but with big smiles on their faces.
Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and went home safe and sure that’s what we set to do. Everyone is looking forward to round 3 down in lough derg in September.
