Six-year-old Lucinda Nazer said she was fitter than her dad, as she finished the kayak ‘n’ run race in Tai Tam on Saturday morning.

“This was my first one. I won’t do another. It’s so long,” she said. Lucinda added that the kayaking was especially hard.

Lucinda’s father, David, and teammate for the day, laughed when asked if he had trained for the race.

“This was our first one. I have two other daughters, so this was the dry run before going with the others,” he said.
