HIGHLIGHTS: Among the many, Jesse repeating Dee's calls - PUSH PUSH PUSH PUSH - so Damon thinks he has to paddle twice as fast, hence the invention of "SQUIRREL SPEED" (see video). Hien cracking crab legs at the buffet at a stroke rate of 60 legs per minute. Eric, Hien, Shelly and Lorie being carded constantly in the casino. TK aka "PADDLE SLUT" trying to scam musubi from a team of Hawaiians. Talal and the Winnipeg women (yes, we saw them Talal . . .) TK's inspirational calling, "COME ON, HENRY". Lorie's paddling too fast (it was the Burnwater paddle's fault!). Alex, Brad & Jessie dressed as women . . .? Alana quit her job to be with us (and to fly to Norway to visit her fiancee). Henry's directions to Damon to Makino Sushi Buffet - "Use your intuition, Damon". Jesse's FLAT TIRE. From TK about 1/2 hour into the trip back to LA - "I think I forgot the trophy in my hotel room . . ." and BEATING SPACE DRAGONS, even with the 250 lb. steersman on our boat!
THANKS to the whole Las Vegas crew for your enthusiasm and energy (especially the guys doing 6 races in one day!). Special thanks to Jesse for finding the Railroad Pass Casino for us and "handling" our reservations, to TK, Talal, David & Rebecca for helping us out, the UCLA men for helping us out, to Mike for loaning us the pop-up tent and TK, to our cheerleaders/picture-takers: Shelly, Julie, Allita, Pat and especially Lani, and as always, to Coach Dee for getting us this far!
SAVE THE DATE - Sunday, May 22nd a "fun" race at the Long Beach High School/College Dragon Boat Races.
PRACTICE CONTINUES THIS WED/SAT/SUN. PLEASE RSVP FOR THE DAY YOU'RE COMING and make sure you arrive PROMPTLY at 5:30P WED, 9:30A SAT or 8:30A SUN for warm-up.
REMINDER: Make sure you have something to eat 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.
