Montreal DragonFly

Ciao DragonFly!

It has been a while since the last time that I posted anything on our site…  and lots of catching-up to do…  So, let me just get straight to all the points:

For starters, yesterday’s practice was our last one indoors!  As always, Melissa was focussing on timing, technique, exits, reach & power…  Hopefully, after a season of indoor practices, we can show Melissa how we’ve improved out in the water at next’s practice.  Just a reminder that practice is from 7pm to 8:30pm (yes, on the water).  Be ready for 6:45 at the docks with all of your gear and ready to load onto the boat.  If you’re late, you litterately “MISS THE BOAT”.  And do-you really want to be the ONE that’s going to slow down the momentum of practice for everybody so that we can pick-you up on the shore?  Please dress warm!!!  It’s still early in the season and the evenings are still chilly… plus, you’ll be wet!

 Also, news on the access cards to the bassin olympic facilities….  I just found-out today when I tried to get into the building with my card that it has been disactivated.  It seems that now, the city is charging 15$/season for the access card!  It’s up to you if you want to renew it for the summer season and planning to use their changing rooms, etc.

 FYI, there’s a warehouse sale for O’Neil clothing.  Check below for details.  I went a few years ago and the deals were amazing!  If you have a chance, you should definitely go!

Also, next weekend, there’s the steering clinic for those that are interested.  The cost is 60$ for the whole weekend plus lunch is included.  You’ll be getting some theory on it but, you’ll mostly be on the water.  Vicky has already sent out the e-mail on it…  you can contact Vicky to register.  A few members on the team has already taken the course and we all had a good time and learnt lots!

Guys, just a little reminder to start trainning for our 10KM run with is coming up real soon!  We’ll be running on Les Iles De Boucherville just like last year at the Summer Race on the Islands 05JUN2010.  Remember to register for it!  Some of us have started running before practices. 

Also, summer season has officially started!  So, please, everybody give your 120$/season membership fee to Vicky ASAP.

OK ok ok…  that’s about it from me!  See you on the water next Friday!  Have a good weekend!
