Paddlers.
This Sunday 11a (remember daylight savings!) we have two VIP guest coaches.  Maggie Hogan and Michele Eray, new locals to the Gorge!!
 
Maggie competed in Rio Olympics 2016, 14 time National Champ, a multi K1 & K2 World Cup medalist and a San Diego lifeguard.  Michele competed in Beijing Olympics 2008, a long list of marathon, sprint, surfski and ocean racing championships.  Michele has her Masters in Sports Performance Coaching, Human Movement Science & Exercise Therapy and she is an Olympic level coach.  There is no way I can capture all the accomplishments of these two humble and friendly world level athletes. 
 
This practice should be really good.  Show up early and be water ready by 11a.  It might be cooler and rainy but possibly lighter winds.  Dress warm and bring a little treat for afterwards.
