Last Warmup

If there are drawbacks to having a awesome man made whitewater course, nestled at the top of that list is being kicked off due to inclement weather. It's basically a gigantic public swimming pool where lifeguards are always on the lookout for lightning. Therefore the Saturday race was canceled. Sunday was greeted with parting clouds and warm temperatures. Not bad for March. Especially after hearing the Quebec kids talk about the 14 ft of snow they have back at home. 14ft? How do you get in your house? Anyway, we had a pretty good race. Gate 9 still plagues us though. Its that crazy up right after the bridge in Charlotte. Single boats can get the bow up and over no problem, but lifting 365 lbs over that hole is a different story. That aside we felt good and fast. Next weekend we'll travel back to the good 'ol NOC for the annual doubleheader, which is the start of the "real" races. We'll post video soon.
