Title: For those who Shrrrreeeed it BRO!!
Post by: THEEE JAAAAYNE STEPHENS on March 11, 2018, 00:10:30
Dirtbag kayakers! <3

The most illustrious of Pre-Ball Kayaking events in all of Laragh! For those who don't know, this will take place the day after the Anna-Mayzing Ball on the 24th of March. It will cost €5 per person to cover the prizes, payable on the day.

The Team race will involve 3 people per team, 1 in their 1st or 2nd year of the club, 1 in their 3rd or 4th, and 1 in the club longer than they'd rather say. One of each gender should be on the team also. The team will make their way down the course as a group, and the last person to cross the line will be the time for the team, so it is in the teams best interest to stay together. At least 2 people have to run Jacksons. The finish line will be the hole of Jacksons. Time deductions may be made as follows:


BoaterX: The BoaterX (boater-cross) will be a race between 4 or 5 people down the course, the top 2 progressing to the next round. It, and the course, looks like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lk-joM_lGiY).
This will be split into Men and Womens categories, and depending on numbers, but further split into Fresher, Non-L3, and L3 or more categories.

Of the 6 past Pre-ball events, I think only had 3 races have taken place, so obviously the weather is going to have to play ball with us, but if the much desired and mythicised rain does not arrive, there will be a back-up plan depending on who has signed up, etc, but may involve coaching and/or cliff jumping which I cannot guarantee will not result in a nail biting injury. Video reference to cliff jumping here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nKW9uuT4A4) and here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vMgSW7TaHA)


So the current plan (which is so subject to change it hardly seems worth writing down) is this:
Prize giving will take place immediately afterwards in the car park. Consisting ONLY of the alcoholic variety!

Prizes will be given for:

....possibly a few more sport prizes on the day  ;) ;)

I will be looking for the selected few to help out with time keeping on the day, etc., so if you aren't paddling, come along and lend your assistance! you may be rewarded in honor and recognition for the rest of your days!!  :o

Sign your Teams up below!

  • 0900: Meet at 9am in Lyhnams car park. Everyone gets changed.


Is the plan really to meet at Lynhams at 9 the morning after the ball? I'll be booking the white van in the morning for the weekend. Details of packing to follow later.

So after some time of deep contemplation, a new team has been formed, a stronger team, a faster team, and certainly the best can crackers around. Meet the Aquaholics 2.0.

Starring,
Mark as your established club member
Diarmuid as the oldie but goldie
Conor as your fanciest fresher.

I know you said there needs to be both genders but conor has agreed to wear a wig

I appear to be team less. Got dropped by Mark, not sure what he was thinking. I've been training lately. Expecting to be fast.

Second that. Rules say "first year". Not "first year in the club" 😏

Fresher is first year in the club... we drove people nuts by calling them Fresher when they were a third year in college

That is my understanding of it. If I've to be called a fresher on nights out or trips away then I AM a fresher.

On a more important matter.
Can people PLEASE post up your official teams so I can make some kind of running order? :o

Peace!!
