Reno Suprises!!!
May 11, 2010
Free. . . that is what worldkayak charges to enter the open freestyle competition, so i couldn’t pass it up. I have been down at the park with Stephen a couple times a week learning new tricks and such, so I thought I could show off my skills.

The women’s open started on friday morning with myself, Nicole, Anna, Mary, and Emery. What a great group of ladies. I learned a new trick from Stephen, Clay, and Jeremy Wednesday night so I thought I would try out my new felix. It worked. A couple spit wheels, cartwheels, spins, and a felix brought me into first place for the women’s open. YAY!!!! That wasn’t expected. Now I got to wake up early on Saturday and compete against all the sponsored boaters. That made me nervous.
Saturday morning. . . my first competition bib. . . Jim gave me lucky 13!!!! Lucky for me I brought my A-game. And I get to compete at the same time as Stephen. I got my highest score of the weekend on my second ride, and enough points to make it into semi-finals. . . top 6. And that is the highlight of the weekend.

Reno locals brought it and represented. Me, Scott, and Mary all in semi’s. Ruth in 2nd and Stephen in 4th. What a great weekend!!! Expect the mispell of my last name. Oh well. . . that is normal. Now it is snowing. WTF???

Jessica – Do you have any pics or Video of Emery? Karen Craig’s camera had zero battery and she got nothing. It is my biggest problem – I don’t get to watch. Thanks! Carol
