Brazen, Fearless and Friggin Freezing

Paddlers entered Saturday's physical fitness test looking to set high marks on several key exercises. Their scores will serve as benchmarks on wich to improve throughout the rest of the offseason (note that "offseason" is a bit of a misnomer here considering our level of tenacity does not diminish during the winter months). Everyone did well - a clear indication that most have been working hard over the past few weeks. Results will be posted here soon.

The Sunday paddle session featured another opportunity for each paddler to become familiar with the limits of their own physical and mental capablities during a tough workout with sixty minutes of total on time. Radley inducted himself into the Polar Bear club following a brief lapse in balance near the end of the workout.

Today's picture shows some of the Canoe Club's heartiest members. It may be difficult to discern what year it is by looking at the clothes these guys are wearing but I assure you the photo is recent. From left to right are Dan Havens, Rich Libby, and Will Rhodes. Photo courtesy of Blaise Rhodes:

Nice clarification, I was sure I had seen that shot in the club photo album of 1970. You can buy a club new lifejackets but I guess you can't make members wear them (the new ones that is).

Hey, I had hair in 1970. I don't even think you were born yet you young whipper snapper.
