Sights on Nationals

With a little bit of warmth in the air, Rich and I have got some decent flatwater workouts in. Last month, Rich had been down on the Salt River for a kayak/camping trip and I nursed my sciatic back. I am about 80% on the back mobility, and Rich is in great form from living out of a kayak for a few weeks.

We had to put the families first this year, so the World Championships in Sort, Spain are out. Rich's daughter graduates from high school the same day as his son graduates from college. This is also the same day as the World Championships. I am also needed at home to chase my 2 1/2 year old son, Noah and spoil my 6 month old daughter, Camille.

With the international scene out of mind, the National Championships on the Skagit are our focus, to paddle, and to organize. We are truly stoked to help put the race on, and to paddle in it!
