We zoomed from Fletcher's boathouse to the Key Bridge in less than half an hour. The water was moving fast!! You all noticed the huge boils and whirlpools we encountered, especially after peeling out of our starting eddy. And even if nobody had to experience highly technical moves such as the "refrigerator boof" or the "washing machine dodge", you saw that the Po can sometimes move some pretty large and not so friendly objects. The River certainly showed us a different personality yesterday.
After paddling on river left past Roosevelt Island and past the Memorial Bridge, we attained back up on the river right side of Roosevelt Island. Everybody seemed to absolutely looooooooove paddling upstream -- or not? 
-- In any case, you all did pretty well, despite the despair that started to show at times. by the way, keep focusing on your forward stroke! I already noticed some improvement!Despite the enthusiasm that gained the group during the attainment up river, Ashley and I (after much begging and pleading) managed to get you all to finally paddle downstream. After a nice sprint to the finish line, we took out at the Washington Canoe Club, where another set of activities such as stretching, chatting, trash talking, wrestling....etc took place. You guys are certainly a fun crowd!!
It looks like this workout opened Liam's appetite!! Or is this an ad for Clif Bars?
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND GOOD SPIRIT !
SEE YOU ON THE RIVER!
SEE YOU ON THE RIVER!
