Progress
We all have goals, whether financial, relationship, education or maybe health and fitness. To have a goal means there is still something to achieve. While it’s not always clear how to measure one’s progress in meeting their goals, sometimes we are given tools to help. For paddlers, the OC-2 time-trial is just such a tool!
1. SPACE DRAGONS 2013 YARD SALE –
- Great job to the 16 Space Dragons that helped setup, sell and tear-down, and big-thanks for all those that donated goods to sell!
- It wasn't a blockbuster, but we broke $200 and every $1 from every fundraiser counts!
- BIG Thanks to coordinator Carolyn and her super-nice parents for hosting and feeding us!
- Special shot out to Denise for her A+ logistics support and Blanca for helping with equipment
- Remember, always think of our yard sale(s) when planning on donating your stuff. We may have another sale opportunity later this Summer in LB and will definitely plan one for 2014! If you definitely need to get rid of the item(s) let captains know and we will try to find temporary storage til the next sale =)
2. PRACTICE - Sat/Sun 9am, Wed 5:30p-Sunset
- Practice Poll Reminder: Be mindful of the practice poll. We need your poll responses for Sat/Sun practice by Wed 7p to properly notify SCDBC, later responses, while helpful to coaches and captains, do not help us satisfy our obligations to the association, beach monitors and the greater DB community.
SPECIAL BOAT – Sat 7:45a, before normal practice (8a ON THE WATER)
- Sat only til June
Please be on time, we only have 1hr!
- Usually a smaller group, so an accurate practice poll is extremely important. Please keep this poll updated! Don't be "that guy" who signs up and then doesn't show up!
3. Alcan OC-2 Time Trials – Sun May 19
- Primary test date is Sun May 19, if that date gets filled up or you absolutely cannot make that date, notify coaches. The tentative make-up date is the following Sunday May 26 after practice.
- Keep in-mind, time trials are not simply for coaches seating data, they are a good way for each paddler to demonstrate technique in isolation which coaches can review and give feedback as well as a way for paddlers to track their own progress throughout the season.
