When we looked at the results first we were sure wondering what was going on today in Gdynia. Lots of people must not have started or did not finish.
Then we turned into the live stream (yes the Stand Up Magazin is working on a 12hrs delay) and it became pretty clear what was going on. The athletes were greeted with ugly, windy onshore conditions in combination with a dark grey sky. The start then looked rather chaotic and it became apparent that his race is nothing for the inexperienced flat water paddler. The condition were very difficult to say the least.
According to our friend in the German team the morning was rather chaotic and the start times have been moved several times, which lead to confusion with the athletes and finally many athletes decided not to start. Frankly people were not very happy.
The field of open women was only 19 ladies deep and in the open men about 2/3 of all athletes started. It was the same picture in all the other classes, it looked like over all maybe half of the paddlers decided to stay on the beach.
The ocean looked like a turned over potato field and many paddlers found them selves in the water more often than not, at some point we even saw a board drifting in the water with no paddler attached to it.
Sadly also for Noic Garioud who had to pull out of the race due to his knee injury. It was also nice to see for Michael Booth to win this race, it must have been a nice redemption after the debacle from Santa Monica. He finished in 1:34:31.77. The open women was won by Esperanza Barrereras in 1:57:26.43
Watch the chaos for your self:
