The Antigua River is divided up into three sections with different names; the upper class 3-5 Barranca Grande section, the middle class 2-5 Pescados section, and the lower class 2-5 Antigua section. The local guides refer to each section as if its another river entirely, you won't find the Pescados or Barranca Grande on a map for that reason.</p> <p style="font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 1.2em; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">We began with stretches to warm up. We worked on the various strokes we learned the day before. We also worked on edge control by doing power circles in the eddy. We worked on ferries in much stronger current. We ran three rapids, about a class 2+ in the&nbsp;Pescados section.&nbsp;<span style="color: #31659c;">We drove to the little village of Apazapan. Anna talked further about reading water and had us study the rapids. We put in on the Antigua section and ran a set of three rapids.&nbsp;<span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">We went to a good practice spot and worked on ferries, peel outs,&nbsp;eddy turns,&nbsp;and s turns. We then ran three more rapids.&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p style="font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 1.2em; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;"><span style="color: #31659c;"><span style="color: #555555; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 10px; line-height: 15px;"> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div> </span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> 2009-01-22T04:33:46-08:00 811598181 2009-02-09T16:00:00-08:00 0 17 207355 8157185 390424 0 226170 0.0 2009-02-10T09:30:00-08:00 Stub 0.0 2009-03-18T00:38:20-07:00 93482 0
