No, I've got family dinner tonight, so no practice tonight. I'll be tagging along on an OC on Thursday though.
I've already devoted a large amount of my time toward paddling anyway, and yes, I am one of the very sad example of having no real social life outside of certain activities. Politics are unavoidable everywhere you go anyway, so I don't really mind it. Beside, your idea that someone's perspective change on a FCRCC mixed team, it certainly didn't happen certain paddlers. Some people had paddling as a part of their lifestyle anyway, with and without FCRCC name attached to them, so it's really up to the individual. For me, it's about improving myself and hoping to push myself to the limit. I'm hoping to be able to go to the Worlds as a primary paddler, regardless of team. (So damnit, we should train Magnum to gun for the Worlds!)
Probably in two years I'll be good enough to hitch a ride on the U23 team.
