cheat_training_group Fall Training starts this week

Hi LAKS students,

Just want to let you know that Fall training starts this week. There are two spots left- you can chose Tuesday or Wednesday, and two Gauley trip dates left (Gauley Fest is full).  If you want to register you can do so here: https://calleva.org/liquid-adventures-kayak/intermediateadvanced/trainings/fall-training/

Here is an overview of the program:

Objective This is such a fun program, designed to get you comfortable picking and hitting lines as well as nailing rolls in big water. Whether your goal is the Upper or the Lower Gauley, you will be challenged on some beautiful sections of whitewater.

Weeknights When you register, you will sign up for a weeknight- Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. Weeknight meetings are 5:30 - 7:30. We will email you each week to let you know where to meet. Location depends on water level. 

Saturdays Saturday meetings are 9-11 am for the whole group. They start this Saturday 9/1 and end 9/22. Saturdays will be run as a workout (think Cheat Training), the weeknights are more of a clinic. These days are designed for downriver runs like Little Falls or the gorge.

What Boat? You don't have to have two boats for this training but I know that most of you do. Ideally, you will bring a playboat or slicey boat to the weeknight practice and the boat you are planning to run the Gauley in to the Saturday practice. 

Who is Teaching? Tom, Steve-O, Bobby Miller and Rhys Jensen-Jones are your main instructors. 

Plans for Gauley Trips You will also signed up for a Gauley Trip date. The whole group will run the Lower Gauley on Saturday. On Sunday some will get redemption on the lower, some will be ready to tackle the Upper on Sunday. We will leave from the take out to head home late Sunday afternoon.

More Training It is important to be in good shape when you are on the river- healthy heart, strength to pull you through rapids, and endurance. LAKS always recommends doing strength training and we are partnering with Outlier Athletics to get you a special deal on fitness training. Outlier is a new gym in Potomac, on Falls Road, started by Michael Lengyel. Michael worked with competitive ice skaters and the PWRC athletes, training at the Bookmont gym. We have a Sunday and Monday evening classes set up at a special rate for LAKS Students. Check out the attached flyer. Michael is cc-ed to this for any questions.

I hope to paddle with you this fall! 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Ashley McEwan
