UBC SAILING CLUB / Tsunami News - January 17, 2012
Sun Run with the UBC Sailing Club - First Training Run this Thursday! The Sun Run is an annual tradition with the UBC Sailing Club! Doing the Sun Run with the UBC Sailing Club is the same price as doing it as an individual, except you get to run every week with the UBC Sailing running group, and a t-shirt with the club logo on it! To join the team, go to this link and join the "UBC Sailing Club" team, password "sailing". The price is only $45 until the end of the month and will be going up to $50 after that. The running group will meet weekly on Thursdays starting January 19th. We'll meet at 8pm on Thursdays in front of the Starbucks at Cornwall and Burrard. Join us for the runs even if you aren't running in the Sun Run or aren't running with our club. These runs will be at a friendly pace that should be quite accessible and will slowly ramp up with time. Please email AndrewNPorritt [at] gmail.com if you plan to run so that I can notify you if the time changes or it is cancelled for any reason but in general we run rain or shine. SAFETY
Wetsuit Reminder
Please remember that wetsuits are mandatory between October 1st and May 31st. As anyone who's launched a boat recently knows, the water is already very cold. And there are also a lot less people on the water to lend a helping hand if you do get into trouble. Wearing a wetsuit improves your chances of being able to self-rescue (or even to survive at all) if you capsize.
Also remember that the club rules require you to wear a life jacket whenever you are on the water.
