Broken streak

Blog

After Lava Falls, as we were all sharing stories about the rapids, Andy ("You're not allowed to bring up a mistake I made on a previous rapid 10 minutes before a run into another hard rapid!" in response to my "Remember, Andy, you're on the right side of the boat" comment before his run into Lava, for which he was understandably mad at me) quoted Kent:

There are three kinds of of people [who raft down the Colorado River through the Canyon]: those who have flipped in Lava Falls, those who are going to flip in Lava Falls, and those who are going to flip again in Lava Falls."

Andy commented there were two streaks at odds on Kent's run down Lava Falls. Tracy stated that no paddle boat had gone without flipping through her trips this season: each one had flipped. Kent, on the other hand, hadn't flipped yet in Lava Falls. One of the two streaks was going to break on this run.

Tracy's broke.
