So far so good, the games are off and running. Yesterday was the Dowd Chute race and West qualifier for the East vs. West. The chute race was a bit different this year as there were gates that racers had to make in the class IV stretch as well as paddle head to head. For the West comp. im not sure who won but do know I was nearly beaten by a 9 year old girl!! Yeah, I know. I will try to find out who made it today and will square of against the front rangers. As for the Dowd race here is the list of winners:

Raft
1st 8 Ball
2nd Clear Creek
3rd Timberline Men

Kayak Women
1st Nikki Kelly
2nd Shannon Carrol
3rd Tanya Faux

Kayak Men
1st Rush Sturges
2nd E.J
3rd Tommy Hilikie

Today is the Homestake race so im taking off now. I will try to get results posted for you later.

bummer about the low flows for the race. There is plenty of snow up there but the weather is just not in our favor.

Here are some results to the homestake race.

Women
1st Nikki Kelly
2nd Tanya Faux
3rd Betz?

Men
1st Tao
2nd Pat Keller
3rd EJ (He also won the big trick contest last night)

I think these are correct. The race was awesome. Very technical with some super fast clean lines (I think top time was 1:40?) and also some carnage. Today starts the pro qualifier for the rodeo.
