Racing time

Wow, what a day. I am so proud of everyone today, I have never seen most of them race so well.
Results are on the Wausau website,
http://www.wausauwhitewater.org/Documents/2011%20Documents/Wausau%20Open/Saturdayendofdayresults.pdf
Highlights were Geoff's first run, Laurence's first run and Finn's 2nd. Cole had 2 great runs and Foxy's first run was solid and clean like his namesake. Carl had an ok first run (neither me or him were satisfied but his solid training put him 2nd anyway) but risked too much later on.
The team had prepared well yesterday so when the water didn't come on for 1/2 and hour we didn't sweat it like the others. Then everyone went for solid first runs in case the predicted storms arrived. The storms didn't but wind did so some 50's and slow times came on 2nd runs as people tried to guess where the pole was going.
Everyone made it to semis and have now walked the course at least twice after demos and are set for the morning.
