Dear Wildwater Racers and Friends:

First, my apologies for not getting this update out to you sooner. Things have been hectic to say the least and unfortunately not with training (at least this year).

This is a big year for Wildwater in the US with the 2003 World Cup coming to our side of the pond. There is a tremendous amount of activity going on in Kernville, California and Terry Valle and her dedicated group of volunteers are sure to put on a great show.

Stay tuned to USAWildwater.com and http://www.kvrc.org/wildwater.htm for information updates. Be sure to read Bob Bofinger's letter to prospective US Team members regarding travel arrangements and team meetings.

If you are a Wildwater race organizer, please be sure to email your race information, consistent with the format found at our race schedule page, to me at michaelbeavers@attbi.com.

In this issue we also join Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine in honoring our own Chris Hipgrave as 2003 Southeastern Paddling Athlete of the Year. Cheers, my friend!

Happy training,

Michael Beavers
