Jerzy the Great

Jerzy's presence in the weight room was hard to miss this morning as repetitions were moving at a faster clip than usual. Everyone's notion of low intensity training was altered as we ended the workout by stumbling out of the gate crippled by excessive lactic acid in our veins.

Becoming increasingly weary of the northern hemisphere, Maia decided to make the long trip down south for the Australian Youth Olympic Festival where she will be competing in big time races on the 18th and 19th of this month. Best of luck to her and all the other American paddlers. Be sure to follow the action here:

In other river related news : apparently the Anacostia is polluted, perhaps so much so that revitalizing the riverfront may be impossible:

Hey,

I mean, if the Anacostia is so dirty, why didn't I see anything of it last fall? Next question: If the Anacostia is so dirty why did I not get genetically altered by the chemical waste (maybe into a fast paddler)?

Ciao
