We Need YOU!

The Lake Merced Youth Races are coming in April and as everyone can see, our attendance has been in the gutters lately. So we need everyone to help out and find the old Fishtix members who have been flaking on practices. Do whatever you need to get them back and committed to the team. I can speak for everyone when I say we are tired of having unproductive practices. We need the reassemble this team and work hard to take the race by storm. Also, this Friday is going to be a new weekly edition of Bootcamp with Coach David. We will be meeting in the third floor ballroom of the Cardinal Point Retirement Center from 6 to 7. It is important for as many members to come as possible because these will be specific exercises to get everyone's endurance and strength up for the races and our secret weapon.

Training Regiments!

With the Lake Merced Race on its way, we as a team have to start training again and beginning to get back into fighting shape. For an early start this time, we are going to be having boot camps every Friday until daylight savings from 6 to 7 at the Cardinal Point Retirement Center. This is to get everyone's endurance up and to promote a stronger stroke from everyone on the team.

Attendance is key for every practice to be efficient and to be sufficient for our efforts to prevail. Everyone on the coaching staff urges all team members to try and never miss a practice so everyone is equally prepared for the race.

More Practice Opportunities in the coming weeks

Soon the infamous Friday practices will be reinstated by our coach, David Jiang. The practices will be later now, from 6 to 7pm to better accommodate everyone and their busy schedules. When the practices will be specifically reinstated is still to be announced so please keep your ears peeled for any news.
There have been a group of half a dozen Fishtix attending the morning adult practices every Saturday. This is another opportunity for everyone who have not been able to make Wednesday practices to continue honing their skills and be sharp. The adult team welcomes everyone to come and join. So for those who feel that regular practice has been inadequate, feel free to participate in these practices.
Another way for people to experience more practice is to head to the Jack London Aquatic Center and practice with Outrigger. Lead by our former coach, Tim, its an excellent practice to hone both rowing arms. They paddle for about 2 hours Sunday starting at 2pm. They paddle to the mouth of the estuary and back. Its an excellent chance to experience some new sights and sounds of the estuary and strengthening both arms.
