Race day! - Keegan Parker

Surfing at Garb! Not a Race, but still Awesome

Hello everyone! It's me again with another blog post. Specifically, a blog post about the fun and exciting race day! So what is race day? Race day is the one day of each week where the day is focused around racing in all sorts of ways in, through, and around rapids all along the river. Yesterday we had 3 different races but unlike last week we were put into teams for 2 of the 3 races. The first race was a 4 leg relay race through McCoy's rapid. The first person started with a small portion of a pool noodle and had to ferry across the river at the top of McCoys landing in the the eddie above sattlers and touch a boat that was stationed on the side and then make it to the bottom of the next eddie to hand the pool noodle off the second racer. The second racer would then take the noodle and ferry into either the safety eddie or the corner wave eddie on river right and then ferry back to river left and hand the noodle to the person stationed at the  bottom of the football eddie. The third racer would then go from the football eddie to river right at the bottom of McCoys, missing the meat of horseshoe and handing the noodle off to the fourth and final racer. The fourth racer would then have to ferry across the the other side of the river, touch the boat that was stationed there, and then race to the finish line at the point of swimmers island. I would love to tell you guys about the other two races but now it's time for fix the heater in the house and get ready to boat!
