Hey AeroDragons ---
COACH SAYS, "Hi crew, thanks for your patience and eagerness --- great workout this weekend, keep up your land workout. If you are just getting started for the season this (below) is your MINIMUM to help you on the boat. The REST OF YOU, we are up to 50 REPS with our new strokes. You'll also need extra leg work and flexibility with your land training. The workout we're doing on the water is hard & IT IS ONLY GOING TO GET HARDER - so land traing's very important to avoid injuries. I'm conducting practices with the assumption that EVERYONE on the boat EXCEPT FOR THE NEWBIES is doing his/her land workout during the week.
WEEK ONE
(See AeroDragons Only page)
A "SPECIAL" FRIEND WILL BE JOINING US FOR PRACTICES SAT & SUN (you've seen him before, but some of you may not have liked him very much . . .)
PRACTICE SAT/SUN --- PLEASE RSVP if you're coming to SAT/SUN practice, make sure you arrive PROMPTLY at 9:30AM SAT and/or 8:30AM SUN for warm-up.

GUPPIES RACE RESCHEDULED TO SAT 2/25 - around the island non-stop . .

REMINDER: Eat something in the morning before you come to practice (think bananas, energy bars, carbs/protein, etc..). Your body needs food to produce energy to paddle. We don't want you to get sick while out on the water. Also, bring water or Gatorade to hydrate yourself while paddling.
