And now Whitewater

I know, 3 blog posts in a day, about 1 day, a little nuts. Just happen to see a lot of activity in one day without leaving far from home. Now this one was an unplanned event, happening 2 blocks from ChalkFest. So we kinda had to go see it, it was right there.

Turns out Wausau has an internationally known whitewater course right downtown on the Wisconsin River and they were hosting the 2012 International Canoe Federation Junior & U23 Canoe Slalom World Championships. There was over 30 countries competing, and many Olympic hopefuls for 2016 in Rio.
 A few competitors from Japan practicing.

 Canadian competitor's boats.

 The course, with the gates arranged for that day's events.
