All Sickline attempts start with an idle moment online, debit<br />

card in hand. You pay a little over £100, which gets you entry<br />

to the race and events, as well as five meals, a tee-shirt a<br />

goody bag, free massage, race insurance and more. You tick<br />

the box that says you are an ‘expert grade five kayaker’ or<br />

something like that then, if you’re me at least, fool yourself<br />

that you’re going to do some ‘training’ before spending the<br />

rest of the summer farting about in your playboat at the<br />

Lee Valley Legacy course.<br />
