Hello Team,

 

Congratulation to Brandon! He is the first one to complete and post the workout homework. Platinum Level!!

I loved that this was posted to APCA Dragons blog page.

 

I would also like to congratulate second person Sandy! She also completed Platinum Level homework and emailed right after Brandon.

 

 

We have 2 large boats for this weekend at the same time so be there early to have time to warm-up and set-up to get full hour of practice.

Niccole and Zina will be running the practice.

 

I will be starting to create race roster so let me know by end of June (earlier the better) if you can make it to both days of the race 7/28-7/29 and your weight (it will be kept private).

We'll probably have more people coming to practice then we'll even take out a third boat.

 

 

FYI - I saw a BIG 5 ad this week selling PFD for $17.99. Best deal I've seen so far.

 

 

Thank you.

Hello Team,

I love the response I'm getting both for paddling AND land workout.

So far we have 26 for paddling and 20 for land workout.

FYI - Earlier you respond the better it will be to organize.

This week's home work will be to do some light workout in addition to your normal exercise routine.

You can do either Gold, Silver, or Bronze Level.

You may do this in any order you like and always warm up before any exercise.

Bronze: 10 jumping jacks, 10 push ups, 10 squats, 10 sit ups

Silver: 20 jumping jacks, 20 push ups, 20 squats, 20 sit ups

Gold: 30 jumping jacks, 30 push ups, 30 squats, 30 sit ups

Now for those overachievers out there.

I will give you Platinum level: 40 jumping jacks, 40 push ups, 40 squats, 40 sit ups

After you complete one of the level then you can either send me an email or post to our blog at http://apcadragons.blogspot.com/ or facebook by this Friday.

This will be counted toward the Participation Award.

Thank you.
