Cheat Training is spring training. It doesn’t matter if you race or not; it doesn’t matter if you are first or mid-pack. Join the spring kayaking that has become a rite of passage for paddlers in the DC area. You will build endurance, improve your forward stroke, and enjoying the company of friends. Read how Cheat Training builds grit. Cheat is just what you need to get you started on next paddling season.
