    Important Dragon Boat Update

    We're getting closer and closer to the 2012 Philadelphia Dragon Boat Festival and Crossfit Inspire's second year of being part of the action. There are some important updates below so please read thoroughly. You can contact Coach Darin or Mike King with any questions.

    Make sure to mark your calendars for the full day of Saturday, October 6th. This is the date of the festival. If you signed up to be part of the team, and haven't done so yet, please get your payment to Coach Darin. Cost is $74 per team member. On June 1st, practice slots are going to open up. Our team captain, Mike King, will be signing us up for three practices, one each in the months of June, July, and August. The practices will most likely be on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Otherwise, practice slots will be during the week in the evenings. All practices are held at Boathouse Row in Philly. We'll do our best to get weekend slots. It is important that you make an effort to attend at least one practice. There is a small amount of technical expertise required to race the dragon boat - nothing a group of Crossfitters can't conquer - and you'll feel more confident on race day with some practice under your belt.

    As soon as possible, please email Mike at mikeking591@gmail.com with your cell phone number, e-mail address, and current weight. Weight is important because the boat needs to be balanced. Thus, be as honest as you can with your weight and Mike will keep all of your information confidential. After you provide Mike with your information, he'll add you to the team on the festival's website. You'll then receive an e-mail from the festival with an electronic waiver to sign. Nobody will be allowed to participate, even in practices, without signing the waiver.

    Finally, Mike is looking for two volunteers. The first volunteer would be needed as an assistant captain. As assistant captain, you would stand in for Mike in the event he can't make a practice and you would be poised to take over the captaincy next year after Mike's two-year term expires. Second, we are looking for a volunteer to serve as a launch driver. This person would most likely be a spouse or someone else not on the team. As launch driver, you'll attend some training and will be responsible for piloting a small boat during practices that follows along with the team. The caveat is that launch drivers work in two-hour shifts, one for CF Inspire practice and one hour for another team's practice. Again, see or e-mail Mike if you are interested in either of those opportunities.

    Get your information to Mike as soon as you can and keep your eyes out starting June 1st for information on our practices. Let's get ready to crush it this year peeps! !!
