Weekly News and Updates: July 23-29, 2007

Thursday July 26, 2007

Just a few words today: First, Lifesavers, Sham has asked that tonight's practice be canceled and we start up fresh next Wednesday night. I hope you all received the e-mail I sent out yesterday. We are canceling due to attendance. A lot of people are away, racing at the festival this weekend and thus practicing with the Stormriders, or have to work. I was hoping we wouldn't lose any more practices, but it is unfair for those who make the trek into Lachine and then aren't able to practice. I hope everyone understands.

Our schedule for August will have us go out 6 times- plenty of time to get things going well for Vaudreuil and Sherbrooke. I hope everyone is motivated for the next month. Please e-mail me with any questions, concerns or comments.

If anyone would like to still go out tonight, Lachine has a recreation level boat at 7pm and a competitive level boat at 8pm that always have free spots. You're all more than welcome to join up with them for a practice.

Stormriders: Your practice tonight is the following:

- technique 10-15 minutes
- 3 x 300m at 500m race pace
- starts

Alright everyone, we're down to the final week before the festival. And what does that mean? We need you ALL to come out to practice!

I would like to get everyone who is racing at the festival (those from Lifesavers and those from Stormriders) to please come out at 7pm both Tuesday and Thursday for practice. For those of you who aren't racing at the festival, please come at 8pm and we'll do a practice.

If you guys have any questions or concerns, please e-mail me.

Also, for those of you who signed up for the extra practices in August, I will have the final information for you regarding the practices by tomorrow night. Please remind me to let you know what we will be doing.

Finally, I have room in a boat on Wednesday night from 7-8pm if anyone would like to do an extra practice. I have 10 people confirmed in the boat and could take as many as 10 more people. The practice is free of charge and the weather looks great this week. Come on out if you feel like it.

See you all tomorrow.
