This Sunday brought a fun filled day on the Green. This would be my second run and boy was it fun! The level was around 6.5" and I was definately getting banged around with such a low level. Steve Krajewski, Adam Goshorn, Tom Rennalls, Joey Jarell, Jim Janney, Alex Zendel, and Jordan from Alabama were with me on this run.

With us putting on late and running out of time, I chose to portage Zwicks just to save time. I knew if I got out of my boat, scouted my line, then went back to get in my boat and run it, I could have already portaged it. And, of course, I portage the monkey too. Scream Machine brought a soft landing but Nieces Pieces hung on to me for a minute. I ran the right line next to the wall. When I landing the drop, my boat stopped in the hole at the bottom. I fought and fought to get out of the hole but then Adam dropped in almost on top of me and helped knock me out of the hole. I went very deep on Power Slide and went deep in the hole at the bottom...it cleaned all my sinuses out good. And then there was Rapid Transit and then there was a wall.
Rapid Transit went well except for the wall line I took with my shoulder. (photo by Alex Zendal)
I portaged Nut Cracker, Groove Tube, and Sunshine down the right trail. Before I knew it, we'd made it to Toilet Bowl and Hammer Factor. I ran the right hand boof on Toilet Bowl. That has got to be the largest boof I'd every thrown. I was grinning from ear to ear. Hammer Factor went well too. Up until this point, I had been trying to pay attention to my lines and where other people were going. Setting in the eddy below Hammer Factor was when it began to set in...I just ran the Green for the second time and I had an awesome day! Again, I was grinning from ear to ear. Till next time, pray for rain!
