From our
paddling coach...
Hi
everyone!
For
those of you who haven't met me, my name is Sarah
Yeldell and I'll be
the paddling coach for the first half of the coming year.
Several of you have expressed interest in racing the concrete canoe,
and I'm really looking forward to meeting all of you.
Right
now, we're taking a break in between semesters, but we'll start back
on the water in June. We plan to hold a Beginner's Workshop on Saturday,
June 7th, starting at 10 AM at the UAH Duckpond.
We'll go over the basics of our hull designs, our paddling form, and
the types of races we compete in, and we'll have veteran paddlers on
hand to take you out on the water so you can get a feel for
what's it's like to paddle one of our canoes.
If
you think you'd like to give racing a try, definitely come and
check it out. I'll warn you, our canoes are pretty unstable at
first, so bring a towel and a change of clothes, just in case!
(I promise, no one ever died from falling in the duckpond. No
one ever grew a third arm, either.) If you decide you like it
and want to be a part of the paddling team, we'll go ahead and set a
practice schedule that accommodates everyone. The sooner we
start, the easier it'll be to kick Gator ass in March!
From the
top...
We need all the help that we can
get to ramp up for the 2008/09 stint in Nashville, so if you are interested in helping out, please let
us
know!

Activities... contact:
Jorge
Cacciatore [(256) 665-6329] for details.
We've developed a workout routine for the chapter (if you are interested in working
out). We are considering
adopting this for the paddlers, but others can join in, too!
It’s called the Body for Life method and it’s proven to
work.
Body

Body
for Life Nutrition Sheet
We would like everyone
to submit their work schedules so that
we can decide when it is best
for everyone to meet. Send details to Florence
Brown [(256) 361-3433].
Paddling Practice:
We
are looking for people to help paddle the canoe during the '08/'09 stint
and will post new schedules to the right. Meet up with us at the times listed... either at
the pond or the trailer location in the Von Braun Research Center
parking lot.
Even if you have no experience, that's
fine! We
will teach you everything you need to know about paddling a canoe!!
Contact Sarah
Yeldell [(256) 651-6478].
Fund Raising:
We are working hard to
raise funds for the regional and national competitions. Please consider helping us out.
Contact: Matthew
Pinkston [(256) 653-2862].
We really
appreciate the help of all
those people who helped so far. Remember, the more people that we
have this year, the easier things become and the more fun
it is for everyone concerned.
We will
be working in the West Wing of Tech Hall. The current work schedule
is posted to the left.

Important Developments:
Our "HOT LINKS" program is a tremendous success and ConcreteCanoe.org remains at the top of the search engines. We developed
this site in an effort to bring all
active concrete canoe sites, as well as pertinent
activities, commentaries, rule changes, and other
information provided by the CNCCC, ASCE, MBT, our
competitors, and us to the attention of the general
public. You'll see little UAH bias there and we are receiving help
from Wisconsin, Laval, Nevada-Reno, Clemson, etc.
