Personal, 4th descent of Lost PaddleI was descending the final rapid of lost paddle, capsized by a strong eddy and failing to get upright. It was during this moment of supreme motivation that I decided that I would perform at my highest level of athleticism. After several failed attempts, I decided to execute the most effective 4 paddles strokes of my life with an onside sweep role, followed by an immediate forward brace, and two draw strokes around a potentially fatal swimming hazard.
