Varsities: Long Distance

[Paddy]

Ready to give any UCD canoe club member a dead mans lift back to the gaf or just to the bar...

[Jevon]

the course is explained in the link manda put up earlier in the thread.  its 5.5 or 11km depending on the class

[Barbie]

I dont like the look of the course its a bit cruel. If your slow and tired and generally crap you have to watch all the people who are way better paddling past you in the opposite direction to the finish line. If it was a straight run then you could pretend that everyone was only just ahead of you. Also I cant remember how good I am at paddling in a straight line. so I think I'm going to have a weekend of drinking who's with me??

[Nuala]

I am certainly in for the weekend of drinking, but I still want to do the long distance.

How fit does one have to be for this? If the answer is not super-fit or something, I like to give it a go.

[Pia!]

don't worry Karen, you don't have to be as super fit as me to compete in the long distance. Siobhan's right-one look at me will tell you that I am built for such hardcore sporting activities but not everyone can be as great as me.

Thanks for pointing that out Siobhan

[Evan]

i'd consider it so long as it doesn't get in the way of too much drinking

[Pia!]

You're not allowed consider evan. YOU'RE IN!!!

Just by posting up on this thread you have automatically signed up for the long distance. So have you karen, arron, Jevon and nuala


I'm all up for a weekend of drinking but somewhere during those two days you'll have to leave the hostel and actually join in on the kayaking festivities.
