This year, for the first time in the history of LAKS, a team of young paddlers will participate in the rigorous and strenuous training program that will lead them to paddling the mighty Cheat river and hopefully, enter the famous Cheat Race. In order to reach this ultimate goal, these courageous pioneers did not hesitate to commit to a preparation that will subject them to the hardest attainment workouts, the infamous "Slow Grinding Death", the most shoulder-burning sessions of backwards paddling and others stroke drills, all this in freezing cold water and chilly weather. No matter the buckets of sweat, blistered hands, frozen fingers, sore muscles, they chose to take on this great challenge and maybe even to have fun with it. ;o)
