"14 NHCC 4TH OF JULY QUALIFYING RACE CREWS ANNOUNCED"
Congratulations to our following paddling crews who qualified to race in next Wednesday's 4th of July race at Waikiki Beach.
Let's all turn out en masse to cheer our racers on to victory in this incredibly fun "wave-riding" race, which is equally fun to watch for the spectator as well!
Parking can be pretty rough for latecomers. Carpooling is always a good idea, and ensures that you won't be late for your race if parking is unavailable nearby.

"No Conk Out, Hydrate"
Soon we will be doing longer runs on Saturday preparing for long distance. Hydration is very important to our performance out there, so here is a short writing from Sports Performance online. Good choices are Cytomax, Amino Vital, Gatorade, etc. Invest is a good hydration system, especially if you plan to do Kona where you will be doing a non-stop race of over 2 hours in the hottest environment.
Aloha,
Gary
Rehydrate: Replenish: Refuel
We all know one of water's most extraordinary property – the ability to stop our bodies overheating by evaporating via the skin in the form of sweat. This is particularly important during exercise, when heat output increases dramatically.
Following my comprehensive hydration strategy involves ensuring good hydration before training/competition, maintaining it during exercise and then replacing any shortfall as soon as possible afterwards.
However, hydration isn’t just about water: fluid loss via among other things, sweating involves the loss of electrolyte minerals – calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and chloride.
Electrolytes serve three general functions in the body:
- They control osmosis of water between body compartments
- Many are essential minerals
- They help maintain the acid-base balance required for normal cellular activities
There are many reasons why replacement of these minerals via an electrolyte mineral containing drink may be better then drinking pure water alone.
Drinks containing electrolyte minerals – particularly sodium - are known to stimulate thirst, thereby stimulating a greater voluntary intake of fluid. There is also evidence that drinks containing sodium stimulate the rate and completeness of re-hydration after a bout of exercise.
Although the amounts lost in sweat are generally in proportion to total body stores, prolonged heavy sweating can lead to significant mineral losses (particularly of sodium), which has been linked with such side effects as cramping.
Drinking pure water effectively dilutes the concentration of electrolyte minerals in the blood, which can impair a number of normal physiological processes.
An extreme example of such an impairment is ‘hyponatraemia’, when low plasma sodium levels can be literally life threatening.
Pre Exercise
Make sure your normal diet contains plenty of water and a minimum of other substances known to impair hydration
Post Exercise
Drinks containing electrolytes (especially sodium) stimulate the desire to drink and may therefore be preferable to plain water. There’s also evidence that these drinks are absorbed more efficiently from the small intestine, especially when carbohydrate is present

Hydrating Yourself DURING your event
Weather and exercise intensity affect fluid needs; the higher the temperature, humidity and exercise intensity, the greater the rate of fluid replacement required.
Never experiment with a new drink during competition. Try it in training first to see how your body tolerates it!

"Ask Uncle Hut"
Uncle,
I love paddling, and my only regret is that I didn't try it sooner. I hear a lot of my fellow paddlers talking about paddling during the long distance season, and I want to go for it. Should I since I am just a novice paddler?
Ted
Dear Ted,
There are about nine major long distance races which begin in August, and end in October.
Paddling in a long distance season is a major commitment of time, energy, and financial resources. If you are in top physical condition, and you understand that there is no guarantee you'll "make crew" for all of the races, I can promise you that if you are given the opportunity to race in any long distance race, the memories will last a lifetime (you'll be practicing making "water changes" real soon, it's a blast!).
Pray on it, listen to GOD's answer, talk to the veteran paddlers in the club, and most importantly, make sure your ohana is solid and a part of each race you compete in ("One Team"). Paddling will always be there, and it should not be an excuse to escape from our responsibilities at home.
Lastly, start saving now. If you should make crew for all of the long distance races, your expenses could easily exceed $1,000. A friend of mine paid all of his long distance expenses last year by collecting and redeeming cans gathered from family and friends.
Good questions all Ted, u 'go geev' um' this weekend at Nanakuli, and have a very Happy Father's Day too!
Paddling is truly a gift from GOD, and we are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful and healing place such as this.
God Bless,
Uncle Hut

Uncles & Auntys,
I was browsing through the morning paper, and thought you might enjoy reading this article too. http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2007/May/17/il/FP705170303.html
I'm trying to grow as fast as I possibly can, but my Mommy and Daddy said they won't buy me my own one man until I'm pau with diapers. Pretty soon!

"The Green Paddler"
Paddlers around the state have been gathering up cans, bottles, and plastics in order to generate revenue to purchase canoes, paddles, paddling gear, and to defray race entry fees all year long. What a great way to protect our Eco-system here in Hawai'i, and keep paddling affordable at the same time!
With gas prices topping $4 a gallon in California today, some of that recyclable cash will likely help pay for gas to get to and from paddling practice as well!
Collect cans and bottles from family and friends, and redeem them at a recycle station like the one opposite Charlie's Shop on Puuhale Street. You plop your bag(s) of separated recyclables on the the scale, get paid, and pau. They have those upright machines which accept a can at a time too, but it takes longer then just weighing it which is much faster.
Comments on additional sources and opportunities of earning income, to offset personal paddling expenses are most welcome and greatly appreciated!
You've called us with some really cool ones already including selling stuff on ebay, Jamba Juice Coupons/Mugs, and Zippy's chili tickets.
Keep those comments comin'!
