Race Day by Alex Levin

Today was Wednesday, race day which meant we started the day off at mccoys doing a team relay race. I started above the drop paddling with two paddles to hand one to my teammate. I could not see who won the race from above, but I was confident in my team. After that I ran mccoys for the first time. I went through sattlers tongue, it was a lot fun. As we moved down the river, we continued the racing theme. We ran lorn, had some delicious wraps, and hiked back up it to race down. Despite my lackluster performance in the race, I had a great time. We had our next team race at the whirlpool eddy. It was a rescue race that ran very smoothly which was nice. I did some stern squirts and messed around in the whirlpools before going swimming which was a little scary at first. We continued down the river and ran Norman’s and coliseum which are two of my favorite rapids. Our final race was a very exciting feet out of the boat race which we won to solidify our victory. It was a great day that was capped off by a delicious dinner.
