How is everyone doing?! I hope that you are well rested after Saturday's workout. I wasn't able to paddle with y'all, but Ashley gave me an awesome report! This Saturday, let's remember to park in the lot off of MacArthur as well as the parking lot on Clara Barton. We can fit about 20 cars in the lower lot and then start filling the upper lot.
For the attainment this week and hereafter, please meet between 5-6 pm in lower lot at Anglers. This week we are going to focus on the stern draw to keep your boat going straight, maintain your ferry angle, and for quick boat control. It basically does everything!! I was looking for a good video to demonstrate it, but couldn't find it SO I am going to do a stern draw clinic with everyone that comes up the river! Tomorrow (Wednesday) I am going to be below Md chute to give the clinic and then you will head up to Md chute to practice with your instructor.
Lets not forget to do our chutes circuits, and to paddle backwards. If you try an attainment 3x and don't make it go ahead and move on to the next one.
Ashley will be grouping people up with instructors and signing you in at the lower parking lot. Please turn around wherever you are at 7:15 (not before!) and race down to Sandy Beach. This race is an important part of getting in shape so please paddle hard till you hit the beach!
By the way, we have an awesome trip coming up in May, the week after the Cheat Race, to the Pacific Northwest! Fly into Portland, paddle some great rivers, and soak in some hot springs! More info here: https://calleva.org/liquid-adventures-kayak/intermediateadvanced/trips/yearly-expedition-2/
PADDLE EVERYWHERE!
