Hello Everyone!
I hope that you've all had a nice weekend off and are ready to paddle next weekend. We have three practicesto go before our big race in San Francisco.
Practices dates at BIAC:
Sat., 09/01: 9:30 am
Sun, 09/09: 10:00 am
Sun, 09/16: 10:00 am
Our entry fee is being waived for the TI race. Therefore, it is important that all team members whowill be racing that day be members of CBDA (CaliforniaDragon Boat Association).I think I have sent reminders to all that still needto pay--but, if I missed anyone, please make sure you send a check for $25 made out to CDBA to me at:
Susan Feledy
35 Shelford Ave.
San Carlos 94070-1839
The Treasure Island festival and race is sure to be a fun-filled weekend. I am so proud of our team--it's just great to be out on the water with all of you. Let's remember that we went from 2:41 sec in our first heat to 2:29 sec in our second. And, remember how the boat just flew through the water? And, how many people felt "the bump"?
I'd like to get a few more "hands on deck" in the race prep. Is anyone willing to take on coordinating these activities?
1. Food/beverages (may need more than one person tocoordinate)--I have paper products left over from PFL and will supplement
2. Carpooling
3. Set-up and take-down--remember, Fidelia drags all the equipment for the tents and tables--she needs HELP!!!! Both in and out.
4. Phone reminders/logistics--this is good to breakdown into about 3-4 people
5. Cheers/spirit--Let's see who can think up some new cheers! I've already thought that if we're next to "the boys'team" that yells, "Who Got Gas?" We can yell back,"Yeah, you got gas, but we got FLASH! Hot flash!!!!" Okay, another corny one. I know you guys can do better. Get your pompoms out and start thinking!
Another thing to remember: Treasure Island doesn'thave a Safeway right across the street--so ice andeverything has to be hauled in. Try to bring carts with large wheels, because the surfaces are not always paved at TI, and the road gets bumpy.
As usual, bring hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, and water. Don't forget a windbreaker and long pants in case the wind kicks up. A big towel might come in handy, as the chop can get rough, and we'll probably all get wet (c'mon people, it's a WATER SPORT).Does anyone have any camping or fold-up tables that they can bring?
More e-mails will be coming. I'm not sure what the waiver will look like, but I'll get it to everyone as soon as possible. It's really helpful if you get it back to me asap
(mail or fax at 650-637-1053).
ARE YOU READY TO ROCK AND ROW????
SURVIVORS READY??????
Paddles Up!
