We encountered a new river obstacle this weekend - Texas Tubbers! We started our training at City Park on Saturday morning around 9am. We later found out it was a great idea to start early with the onset of tubbers in the early afternoon. On Sunday we attempted an afternoon paddle in our kayaks and had to weave our way around about 200 tubes!
During the paddling sessions we worked on our portages of Rio Vista dam, Cummins dam and Staples. We were very excited this weekend when we learned an effective way to run through "Old Dam" rapids. We are still working on our plan for Cottonseed and that is on our list for the last weekend of training. This weekend ended up being a good technical weekend with plenty of time to rest and relax at the Shady Grove campground. We camped Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights and enjoyed many hours of relaxing in chairs in the river!
Joy, Brad, Coleen, Jenny, Nick and Dillon all camped out for the weekend. My friends Casey and Chris joined us on Sunday night and a good time was had by all. For the record Joy makes the best breakfast around! We had a good time with good friends all weekend long! We ended up paddling short distances this weekend but the knowledge we gained from practicing the portages proved to be very important! We are looking forward to a few more weekends of training and then the big race
