Hi Cheaters!

Thank you all for participating in Cheat Training this year.  I hope you feel strong and ready for this season, whether you enter the race, take on some creeks, or paddle the Potomac with more confidence than ever!

Randy and Chessa Lutter are hosting our annual Post Cheat PotLuck celebration on Saturday, May 9th, beginning at 6 pm.  They live at 5024 Newport Ave, Bethesda, MD, 20816, off Massachusetts Ave, near Mass and Western.  This is a 15 minute walk from Friendship Heights.  There is some parking in the driveway, additional parking can be found at Westbrook Elementary School, about a 5 minute walk.  You can park in the lot behind the school.

Randy and Chessa will have a gas and a charcoal grill as well as ice and coolers for whatever items we want to cook or chill.  Please let me know what you plan to bring, we will need things in the major categories of meat, veggie, salads, desserts, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, appetizers, and paper/plastic products.  

This is always a fun way to end Cheat season and make plans with our new paddling buddies.  SOs and parents are welcome!  

We would love to have feedback on your Cheat Training experience.  You can email Tom and I or your instructors directly.  Also, if you want to pass on the love to the public, we appreciate online reviews.  We use Yelp, Google, Facebook, Four Square.   

Finally, we will start using this list serve for Upper Yough Training right after Cheat Fest.  At the bottom of every list-serve message is a way to adjust your settings or unsubscribe.  Upper Yough Training starts next Monday 5/4 or Wednesday 5/6.  A couple of spaces are left in the program.  

Good luck in the race and see you at Cheat Fest!

Chessa and I would love to see you at our house at 5024 Newport this Saturday, for a potluck dinner.  Hope you can make it.  Feel free to bring a significant other, and tall tales about how you escaped carnage on the Cheat last Friday!

Best regards,

I wish I could be there and talk about all the great times on the Cheat and getting ready for the Cheat but we have a family member with a  graduation and all due celebration happening at the same time. I'll have to catch up with everybody on the river.

Thanks to you and Chessa for again hosting; sadly I will not be able to attend as I will still be out of the country (cue the violins please).  Fern

Hi Guys,

Just a reminder to let me know what you can bring to the pot-luck this Saturday night.  Michelle and I decided to start things off by signing up but there are still a lot of blanks on my spreadsheet.  Hope to see you all there!

Gotcha covered.

Hi,

I created a google spreadsheet where you can see what everyone has listed. 

You can also add yourself and the dish. No sign in or download required.

Hello Everyone!!!

Just wanted to let you that I really missed you on the water this year.  I look forward to next because I will be there!!!

I just have too much going on to make it tonight but wanted to let you know I really wanted to come.  

So see y’all next year or on the river soon!!!

Cheers

Pablo

FYI, last year, I beat both Tom and Ashley Nee.  This year they both beat me.  We battled the whole way from the start.  Its was awesome.  And I really think both Tom and Ashley were faster this year with Tom beating both ashley and I.  

I thought for sure I had him beat no problem this year.  Maybe this was a motivating force for Tom to not let me win.  Every time I passed him, he sprinted by me.  Did not give me an inch.  Every time I thought a wave would hit Tom in the chest to slow him, he somehow went around it and always kept pushing and did not let up the whole way.  Did not even take a moment to rest.  Just kept going and going...  

I thought I would share this because most of you would not see this part of the race.  I have been looking at the back of Tom’s PFD for about the last 18 Years.  He apparently does not like to look at the back of mine.  However, he will next year :)  

Have a good night!!!

Hi all,

Looks like we have most of what we need tonight.  There will be many desserts and beer.  A perfect evening :) 

If anyone is coming but hasn't signed up we could use non-alocoholic beverages, something to grill (meat or veg), and some paper / plastic ware.  Katie is bringing plates but we could use cups, napkins, plastic utensils.  

See you this evening!

We were delighted to see so many paddlers and friends come by on Saturday night.  We picked up some items that we will return to their rightful homes, upon request, including:

a small blue denim jacket with embroidering and "vinyl records" stitched on the back
a nice white cloth shopping bag with a Taget logo on the side
a plastic serving spoon

Best,

Hi all,
I know.  I am a serial boat-borrower.  The Potomac River Swim (7.5miles) is June 6th and they are still looking for sea kayakers to support.  I'm thinking of volunteering, but would need to have a sea kayak.  Does anyone have a sea kayak in good shape that I could borrow for this good cause? 

Please reply to tree...@yahoo.com or call me: 301-512-0711

Are you thinking of swimming it?!  They are wait-listing because they need kayakers. I could be your support kayaker!  LAKS takes on the Potomac Swim!

I did this before in my Dagger Response and it was fine. The swimmers are not going fast enough for the boat to matter very much. I think I could have done it in a play boat.
