Dear Friends,
--
-- Agreed - a beautiful weekend with Calleva LAKS paddling friends. Thanks to all!
It was really fun watching people get comfortable with rock-bumps, blind ledge drops, holes, and generally creeky conditions. The Kitz provided us with a great training ground for working on creeking skills, team work, leading rapids, and running sweep. It was really fun for me to see different people getting out ahead and leading some rapids, or just picking individual lines down rapids. And, everyone was helpful and supportive with rescues - great to see! Those are the things I love best about the Cheat Training family - its all cheers and positive encouragement for each other.
I managed to get out for a second run of the Kitz on Sunday, and had a few fun moments. I was very happy to learned that Rattlesnake ledge hole can be successfully surfed and exited (by me!). I also learned that Bobby's Surprise Rapid (a few rapids after Maytag) really can catch a person (me) by surprise with that huge hole at the end! Always good to get in some whitewater rolls :)
Our group made up a new mantra to guide our river running success. WWBMD (What Would Bobby Miller Do). Side surfing in Rattlesnake ledge hole? WWBMD - enjoy the surf, and then surf out! Sliding backwards into Bobby's Surprise Rapid hole? WWBMD - yahooo! and then roll up :)
Thanks All - I can't wait for next weekend!

Yes the Kitzmiller section of the Potomac was at its best! What a wonderful run. Special kudos to Patrick for keeping us safe and positive.
