We ran the Main again but instead of all running together we ran in 2 groups split up by your skill level the lower skill level group went down to Pushbutton and the higher went to Garberator. The people at Pushbutton left early cause we only had one shuttle vehicle so they went first after they left Pushbutton. The higher skill group went to Pushbutton then went down the river after a while at Pushbutton. 

Same as Monday and we split up in groups based on skill level groups. 1+2 went down to Pushbutton again and we went to Garb and then waited for them to go on down to the shuttle while we made our way down the river slowly so they could get back to Keenerville and get the shuttle back to pick us up. 

Group 4 was the first to go while the combined group of 2+3 watched and picked their best lines through Mcoy's watching and seeing how group 4 did their lines. Devon was the winner of group 4 because at the end Zohar decided to start flipping people and they returned the favor by all getting disqualified by making each other flip but Devon who was in last came up and finished the race without trying to flip anyone so he won by disqualification. In groups 2+3 Taylor, Andrew, Ross and myself broke out in front at the start then at the second gate. I was already ahead by 3 or 4 boat lengths the out of gate 2 onto gate 4 I was ahead by a good 30 feet on my way down through Horshoe; however I got stuck in left side and flushed upside down but still ahead I rolled and turned around to paddle cause I thought I was farther right and got flipped by Babyface and lost my first place position to Taylor then I lost my second to Andrew cause I had to paddle upriver from far down in the eddy but was catching up and almost past Andrew getting to finish line 3rd wasn’t my best but I do have next week that I'm pretty confident in so that should be interesting. 

Thursday Big Water Beatdown Day
We learned how to punch big holes like Phil's Hole. My first two runs went great i went right through the meat and punched right through the hole and on my third i was told to try to get a real beat down so i tried to kickflip into Phil's Hole and got thrashed a little bit but got flushed out right away. Zohar however decided to do a triple kickflip entry to his right side which put him right in right side Phil's Hol, where he got thrashed for a good 30 seconds or so and couldn’t get out to either side. To read more about Zohar's beatdown, go to http://www.okskeener.blogspot.com/. After beatdown at Mcoy's we ran the rest of the river and Clay made everyone try to throw kickflips at every large wave train most flipped some got them I was one of the ones who never quite finished the kickflip landing upside down and having to roll back up.

A class was at Garb and the winner turned out to be Carlos again. He won the last competition at Babyface. B class had their competition at pushbutton where Andrew took the whole competition with flat spins and one roundhouse. After the competition we all ran the river together and I decided to try a flatwater loop at the top of Butcher's Knife. I snapped my back band strap so I ran the rest of the river without one and tried throwing kickflips and wavewheels, which never turned out well. When we got to Coliseum and did Center Slot, Iwent directly into the beatdown line of the Pourover and got a good beatdown for about 30 seconds but instead of swimming, I flushed out at the last second and rolled up with no backband. It was extremely tough not to swim.
