Wednesday Smack down!!!!! with Jahn Pearson

Whilst it is uncommon to see a keener post more than once a week, I have something amazing to share! Today was race day wednesday. We had to choose our own line and go down the Lorne rapid,  touch river left bank, then turn and burn back and touch the right river bank. I thought the fastest line was straight over a pour over. So when our coach blew the whistle we all do a 180 turn and dig into the water. So as I power forward I steal a glance back and realize I am way ahead but the others are catching up. Of course I get too excited and do my boof stroke too early on the pour over and completely penciled in. I got worked for around 45 seconds which tires out your core supper fast. I dropped my edge and got what I like to call rumbled and tumbled and window shaded a few times before pulling my skirt, I then got sucked out of my skirt and shoved down so far that the light faded from around me. I pop up and there is my favorite coaches and my friends cheering me on as I struggle to breathe again. Afterwords, Devyn helped me get my boat back and I helped set safety for the rest of the racers. All and all, it was a pretty good day on the water.
