• Main Line Slide registration closes January 28
• All oarsmen are encouraged to participate in this event, see how well you are doing compared to competitors from other programs. Registration forms and waivers can be found at  http://www.villanovarowing.com/mls/.
• Main Line Slide Challenge Saturday February 4
• Thanks to a gentle prod from Daniel Carbery, several of the "older" contingent (parents that is...) will also compete in the Main Line Slide.  To make this a bit more interesting there will be a challenge to the oarsmen...  the challenge is that for each oarsmen that pulls a PR (personal record) at the MLS we will make a donation to RBCC. Daniel Carbery and Paul Aftring will kick this off with a minimum $1 for every second improvement in the PR. The improvements in PR will be documented by the coaches to avoid any collusion or other mishandling of the results...
• Furthermore we will state our own PR (or target time) and agree to donate a similar amount for any personal improvement.  All parents, friends and relatives are free to participate, recommended donation from a minimum of $1.00 per second of improvement to whatever you think it is worth.. (feel free to set a cap on this to limit your risk!).  
• The coaches are also invited to participate. Coach Ken has offered a reverse incentive that he will pledge $1 per second that he pulls slower than his personal PR (from his competitive days). Anyone can also pledge to participate in the reverse incentive for our ex competitor coaches.  
• All parents are encouraged to consider registering for the MLS. State a PR and you can help us fundraise as well get an understanding of just how it feels to workout at a sprint pace for 2K. 
• A pledge form will be sent separately which can be filled out online.
• Crash-B World Indoor Rowing Championships Boston Sunday February 19
• For those traveling to Boston for this event, please drop a note to paul@rowradnor.org if you will be in Boston Saturday evening and would like to join us for a pasta dinner in the Boston's North End.  Let me know as well how many will attend the dinner.
