Re: cheat_training_group Cheat Race Fear and Loathing

Thanks a lot for another great Cheat training season!  I had a great time with the Cheat Elite folks.  Unfortunately, I will be missing the race this year since I will be in Oklahoma City for the second Slalom Team trials.  Best of luck to all that complete the race.

Hi Cheat Trainers,

As a reminder we are holding an extra, bonus, Cheat attainment tonight.  Hope you guys can make it! Tom and Steve-O will be leading.

I was talking with a couple of paddling friends over the past week about the Cheat Race. I know everyone has various feelings about racing, reasons to participate or not, etc. Just as one perspective, it is incredibly humbling, character building, and ultimately confidence building to rely on yourself alone, paddling the river without stopping and as fast you can.  It is an hour and a half of intense self psycho-analysis, an invaluable annual tradition that I am sad to miss this year. Give yourself some boundaries and challenge yourself to really race, not float down with friends or see how many beers you can finish. (That's what Saturday is for.) Yes there is fear and anguish, broken boats and tears but there is also safety rafts at all the major rapids and the feeling of really having achieved something, a tangible result to how hard you worked this season.  Be proud of completing YOUR personal best. You have worked hard for this!

 I am attaching a Google Doc for the Cheat Training party spreadsheet. Feel free to edit it to add what you are bringing or email me back and I will add you.

Thanks for being part of Cheat Training this year.  Look for a program evaluation form to come through after Cheat Fest.  We would love to get your feedback.  Have a great weekend!

Best,


Ashley McEwan
