Who's Kenny?
While the name has changed slightly over the years --- usually due to the spelling skills of participants --- the qualifications have remained constant. Only the boldest...only the baddest...only the best racers dare join the team.
And Kenny.

Is the team name LAKS MAX or Macs? This is usually the instructor team right?--
Steve-O, I take offense to the "Beer Drinking West Virginian near you" comment. Is that comment saying that if you are drinking beer during the race you must be from West Virginia? Just to let you know. I drank some beer during the race last year. Not until we were below Pete Morgan though. We still took 1st place in our class. Granite my class was the inflatable class. We had plenty of room for a cooler. Cole and I were way ahead of the other rafts by the time we got to Pete Morgans. We were able to take it easy and enjoy a few beverages from Pete's to the finish line.
I don't recommend this approach this year when I am going to be in a kayak and the water could be high.
I would like to reiterate what Ashley said. Everyone has worked hard this Spring. Challenge yourself in the race. There is plenty of safety (rafts, kayaks, and people on shore with throw bags) at every rapid. Be safe out there but try to push yourself as well.
Before the race I like to remember some lines from on of my favorite movies, Better Off Dead. "How am I going to win this race? Go really fast, if something gets in your way, TURN!!!!"
Good luck and I will see you tomorrow,

Surely, there will be the traditional "Mac's LAKS"? (I know, I know --- don't call you Shirley)
Jen has already mentioned the other traditional moniker, "LAKS Speed". Looking over past results, I see "LAKS Confidence", "LAKS Style", "LAKS-a-boof", "LAKS Luster", and last year's "LAKS Dub" and "LAKS Balls" --- hey, don't shoot the messenger --- the ladies came up with those on their own. :-)
As a mere satellite to this year's Cheat Training, I plan to race proudly under the "ExLAKS" banner.
See ya out there...

Great words Ashley! Every cheat race I laugh, cry, and stop feeling my arms, but isn't that what it's all about! It's a very soulful experience to be on the river relying on your personal skills to get you down. You will never be alone, there will always be another racer, safety raft, or beer drinking West Virginian near you. I challenge you all to race this Friday.What are the teams this year? I am unaffiliated.

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
