Last Day of Keeners: By Jonas Tiedje

At keeners you get to spend your last day on the river doing a freestyle competition with all of your friends. At first it’ll feel like a normal keener day but as the day goes by and you get off the water you slowly start to understand that this will maybe be your last time on the mighty Ottawa. If you haven’t done it yet I suggest trying to swim the flat water to the takeout since you’ll probably have enough time to swim it on the last day.  Then you go back to keenerville and you get to eat pizza while watching the competition videos and learn from them. When reality will really hit is when the coaches will do the wrap up speech and then you start to realize that you only have a few hours left with your new friends before they all leave. It is pretty sad saying goodbye to everyone but it makes it easier if you keep the hope that maybe one day you’ll get to see them again.
