Buena Vista Pro Rodeo

The first competition of 2013 in Colorado was in Buena Vista, during the CKS Paddlefest.

This was my first time entering multiple divisions (Junior Womens, and C1), and I have to say that it turned out pretty well.

In Junior Womens, I scored 420 points, two rides in a row, but it wasn't quite enough to put me on top, so I placed second.

C1 was definitely the largest division I've competed in. Not. There were two of us - Dane and I - so I took another second place.

And swam.

(This is where I don't roll up and Dane saves me)

I've learned that I can flat spin and loop my C1, but my roll is still pretty questionable when I'm not in the feature.

After BV, we went down to Salida and spent some time having fun in the features down there.

Right now, we're in Frisco, CO, spending some time with family friends. I'm catching up on showers, and Dad and Iv are on their way to Arapaho Basin for some snowboarding today.
