Varsities: Long Distance

[Pia!]

Ok, those shitheads on the committee (*dammit Mark!!*) have put me in charge of organising the team for the long distance. Apparently because my current boyfriend USED to be a racer (long before i even knew him!) that makes me the most qualified person for the job.
Sign up here if you are interested
I did it last year and kicked Finn's ass
Yeah, that's right
Quick as a cat.....me...

[Nuala]

I'll go for it.

If people are serious about this thy should be at the front of the line-up at the start. This leaves room for people who aren't serious about it to paddle sideways across all the other contestants.

Or swim!! Its in the rules that competitors have to help swimmers

Pick me pick me pick me pick me

I will be there with bells on or will be shouted onto the river again so rather miserable. (Some rather stupid rule about it being a canoe club and thus having to canoe.)
But come join me we can have a nice chat.

I might be interested... when is this whole varsities thing?? 

[Asho87]

me and riona might, but if theres limited places dont let us stop anyone else x

[Cli]

I'll give it a go and try beat my current record of 95th place!!

Varsities is weekend of 22nd-24th Feb, in Limerick

i'd like to give it a go but is it wise to do it in a jackson fun?

[Pia!]

Its always wise to do things in a jackson fun.

I'm liking the enthusiasm guys. I would recommend competing in something cos you'll feel good for having done something more that weekend other than drinking

Ok, so far we got

Jevon, varsities is an annual kayaking competition with other colleges around Ireland where you compete in different events such as whitewater, polo, freestyle etc...
Normally, we wouldn't give a shit about winning but this year the winner gets the Dee Cup and since Dee's our friend we wanna win it.
SO YOU BETTER NOT FUCK UP!!!
                                              (No pressure.....)
 

[Jevon]

does this count as a club trip? cause you know, I haven't managed to get my level 3 yet...

yeah, and on that note, I might need to borrow a boat for the next few weeks for training, I was thinkin some laps around the pond...?

how long is the paddle? - (and I don't mean blades)

[caz]

i am not a definate entry... i dont really think i want to do it, dont like this whole idea of having to earn my right to have fun, it's going to be bad enough im giving up broccoli (heh) for lent, on top of that padlling miles of flat water first thing on a freezing cold february morning. probably with a hangover. is pure masochism.
im going to stop talking now, still a bit drunk from last night.  ciao

[Nuala]

this year the winner gets the Dee Cup

Is that the case in just long distance or is it all the events?

[Towelyey]

isn't the dee cup for the winner of the white water???

stop trying to con people into doing long distance
