Triple defending women\u2019s champion Robyn Kime broke her own day two record to extend her lead in the 2013 The Unlimited Dusi after an eventful day two between Dusi Bridge and the Inanda Dam on Friday.<\/p>\n
Despite the cool conditions, the competition was hot on the water as fortunes fluctuated throughout.<\/p>\n
Kime race almost came to a halt at Hippo Rapid when she got it all wrong and wrapped her boat in the pool below the rapid.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was one epic incident,\u201d she said. \u201cI took the day very conservatively, but I often swim at Hippo. There\u2019s only one place you can break your boat at Hippo, but I found it.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy boat was almost folded in half. I managed to save it before it totally broke and was very surprised when my boat simply popped back into shape.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought \u2018that\u2019s it, it\u2019s gone\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
Abby Adie held onto second spot and despite the race leader\u2019s adventure at Hippo Rapid still lost a little time to Kime. Nonetheless, she enjoyed the greater premium placed on paddling after her struggles while portaging on the opening day.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday was brilliant,\u201d said Adie. \u201cI had just one little incident of spinning out at Marianni Foley, where I hooked an eddy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bianca Haw, in third place after the first day, entered the Inanda Dam accompanied by Jen Theron and Hilary Pitchford, but former sprint star Theron used her strength on the flat water to pull clear of Haw. She couldn\u2019t shake Pitchford, however.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe dam is what I\u2019m good at \u2013 it\u2019s so boring and flat. I worked really, really hard to get her (Bianca) off of the bunch, but I couldn\u2019t drop Hilary, so the race is on tomorrow,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
