Oh Baby

Well it turns out the screw we were all waiting for arrived. Micheal fifty'd a gate and that put Max and I in very good positions to get ahead of the competition for spots on the team. So far my overall percent is %226.8, Max's is %207 and Micheal is %249.09. This means Max is first, I am second and Micheal is in third.

My first run was fabulous. I nailed all the lines and paddled probably the best race I ever have in my career so far. I was quick in the upstreams, and fast in the offsets. What else could you ask for? Maybe another good run like that? Well I came into my second run feeling confident and ready to crush out the course again. My first five gates were a little faster but as I approached the ninth gate on the course I stalled and lost about five seconds and then lost another three seconds in ten which totally through the run off. But luckily with such a good solid first time all I need to do is paddle how I know I can and stay relaxed, and of course to have some fun!

Hope all is well
