The teams both made it to Oregon yesterday and and are settled in and getting ready for the national championship event to be hosted by the Upper Clackamas Whitewater Festival. The river is beautiful and the water is cold. We've previewed the race lines for all of the events and it looks fairly straightforward. The most interesting part of racing on the Clackamas is probably the unexpected surging boil that occasionally hurls the boat from the desired line into a powerful eddy on either side. We're heading to bed early to ensure that we have plenty of rest for tomorrow's downriver and time trial races. We'll report back tomorrow with results!
