Racing the oly on Sunday. Anyone know what the river flow has been like? Just sort of curious what to expect for both up and down current sections. Excited to race!

One of my teammates was up last week and she said there was more current than she expected, but I haven't seen it in person (I will tomorrow, though!) - Dave Latourette knows everything about the area, though, so I'd defer to him.
I will say that the river last year had more current than in 2015, so I'm expecting more current again after all the rain we got this winter! For reference, my swim time was almost 3 minutes slower in 2016 compared to 2015 where we had to walk a good 75m to the swim exit - and I'm a swimmer!
I've also tried checking the Stumptown Brewery webcam: http://www.stumptown.com/wxstump.html
Good luck this weekend!
