“The majority of it was technical rafting, which is what we’re used to, so it definitely worked in our favour.”

Yesterday was finally time to head out on an adventure. Super fun hanging out with the boys team! Today is our last race day, its down river time. We're ready to give it a nudge

Sorry for the late updating team!

We had our slalom race yesterday, our first run not too flash but we still gave it a go! Our second lap ended up being a little more exciting. The river rose as we were going down which made the gates a little more challenging, but in the fun way. Because the course and river were different they ended up taking rhe scores from the first run. So we came 6th in the slalom. And now sitting 3rd overall. We have just finished down river training ready for race day tmrw to smash jt back out 💪🚣‍♀️
