Rax likes to take time to himself every so often to get away from the world. Being a pro athlete, you're essentially around people every waking moment, even in the off-season. Whether it's lifting weights, going over film, working on techniques, there's always something. But, occasionally, there's a few days to spare where one can get away.
One such time, Lo headed out on a solo canoe trip. Nothing too crazy, just packed for an overnighter on a simple out-and-back trip on the Nipissing River. The trip started off like many other, with no real wrinkles. That is, until Rax had settled down for the night at his camp site. Lo had taken all the typical best precautions, being a regular outdoorsman. He'd seen the evidence of their presence near him before, but this time, he'd get his first up close and personal encounter. Who knows what it was that pissed this bear off, but when Rax awoke from snoozing by his fire, he was all but face to face with death itself. In an effort to make himself bigger and more intimidating Lo stood up, outstretched his arms, and let out a howl, but that only serve to whip this bear into a frenzy. It came at Rax, swinging away with its claws, looking for blood. Rax dipped and ducked, slipping the blows, before turning the tables and demonstrating a perfect form tackle straight into the bear's gut. Stunned, the beast arose, snapped out of its bloodlust- turned tail and ran away. That was one close call that left Lo really pondering life on his paddle home.
