Notes:
 

First time on the lower 5 for almost ten years. Went fine in the RPM, although it felt a bit out of control in Crunch. Great evening run. The flow was perfect: not too low, not too high.

We had a crack team assembled for this perfect evening.  Travis did great on his first run down the lower 5.  However there was one moment that wasn't so perfect.  While nervously sitting in the eddy above Juicer and talking to Travis, Fred came bouncing in and kindly pushed me out of the eddy.  Apparently he thought it was time for me to shut up and start paddling the damn rapid!

It think it was more like a nudge.
