Paddling

I can't wait for Japan! Other than that, working and paddling getting ready for the businessman's race this weekend. We'll have 2 men's teams, 2 mixed teams, and a women's team. Should be fun! Here's some photos from practice:

Practicing in the mixed boats

Mark, Lana, and Sarah all have paddling experience (they have better form than I do)
Women's team: Sarah, me, Lana, Nicole, Audra, and Guy as our steersman. I think we're pretty good. We beat the men twice that day (see how we're ahead?)
Relaxing. The thing about paddling is if you do it wrong, it hurts. If you do it right, it hurts. But this is a fun group because it's for fun--not as competitive.

Have to work Saturday and a little on Sunday, but I keep telling myself that Japan is only days away! Businessman's race is on Sunday--I'll keep you posted! Hope all is well wherever you are!
