You know, I saw my mistakes before I took on Cripps. My mantra is speed is your friend. I didn’t have a lot of speed this one time I ran Cripps. I’ve even eddied out river left just above Cripps. Well, my number was up
Also, I’m not ashamed of posting. The run was well within my abilities. I also figured it brings heightened awareness of river features. I playboat a lot, and where playboating skills helped a lot.
Good fight, thought you had it
I thought so too. At first I was having fun because I can usually get out of these holes. Nope...
Glad you made it out, thank you for posting and reminding us that casual days can turn deadly quickly.
Yeah, for me this was the crux of the run. The hole was an eye magnet and a tractor beam.
Valiant effort! Thanks for posting.
Yeah, never give up the fight. I really believed I could work myself out of the hole. It gave me a new respect, not fear, for the river.
Way to hang in there Dejan, it takes guts to post your swim like that. That happened to me many years ago, got sucked right back in.

Dang, glad you're alright, that looks way more sketchy than being in a peloton ;)
lol! Well, I’ve got stories of a bad crash in St. Louis keeping me in the hospital for 14 days. 🤪
shit! glad you're ok. you fought that thing well
Yeah, pretty tiring. The swim sucked
Wild
It was a wild ride
What did you run into during the swim? Big rock?
A lot of sharp blast rocks like you see on the bank after I got out.
Youch!
