Ouch

I was moved to the right side of the boat tonight. That may be my better side, but I think I have the makings of an ambidextrous paddler.

This being said, we had to row a 12-minute segment, then a 10-minute, then an 8-minute. By the time we reached minute 6 of the final 8, my paddle was basically just dragging itself back and forth in the water. I couldn't lift it anymore. My poor tricep was crying in pain.

Builds character.

And muscles - hopefully in the right places! Think how useful you will be to the team if you are an ambidextrous paddler!

I may not need Le Body Toner, but I'll always WANT one....to use while eating my Kentucky.

Ambidextrous paddlers are always in demand. Me and another new guy both think we are ambi. We might just be ignorant of the finer points of paddlin'.

in your honour we ate some poulet kentucky on the weekend- we had just made a 3 hour round-trip to red deer for a one hour soccer game and some of us had no energy to cook so we let the col. do it-then we started to wonder if col. saunders was a real colonel? and for that matter was col. parker?
