Practice & Evites
by swu on Jan 31 02:51am
With the official start of the 2010 race season right around the corner (February 20), we're seeing the team's excitement at our off season weekend practices.  I hope to see more and more of  you at practice as the week's progress.
Because of new SCDBC regulations, we need your help in responding as quickly as you can to the team evites that are going out at the beginning of each week.  Please respond to these evites by Wednesday afternoon so we can notify SCDBC of our boat needs for the upcoming weekend.  The sooner you can "nail down" your weekend plans, the better we will be able to get the team out on the water in a timely fashion.
If you don't receive an evite by Tuesday, please email me or any of the other coaches.
Thanks,
Scott

Happy New Year
by kkim on Jan 08 03:21pm
We have our insurance policy and are now allowed to practice on the water if and only if you have signed the new waivers for the insurance company.  If you have not signed one, you will not be allowed to paddle on the water.
Speaking of paddling on the water, there will be practice this weekend!
Saturdays are still at 9am, but our Sunday schedule has been changed for this year.
Sunday practices are now at 7:30am.
 
There are new attendance requirements by the SCDBC (the fine group that rents us boat time).  Be sure to checkin to have your attendance taken so we can remain in compliance with these new SCDBC rules.
 
See you out on the water!

2nd Annual Friends and Family Day
by kkim on Sep 30 11:22pm
Have you ever had to explain to your friends, coworkers, family members, neighbors why you are walking all funny because of HPC? Or explain to them why you have to get up butt early on the weekends? Then get incredulous looks from them because it seems like you are speaking alien gibberish?
Well, this is the opportunity to show them instead of just telling them. Instead of the usual intense practice, we'll take it nice and easy around Naple Island. Afterwards, we'll be having lunch catered by L&L. $10 for LARD members, free for guests.
So please sign up ASAP so we'll know how many people to order for.
Chuck
