Feb Fast Fitness Challenge
Heya! I’m calling on all Sydney Harbour Surf Club paddlers to exercise for at least 25 mins per day and to raise money to support disadvantaged young people in Australia.
From overcoming mental health issues and the impact of abuse and neglect, to finding safe housing and tackling drug and alcohol problems, febfast funds youth workers to help young people access the resources and support they require to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
Your support will help us to reduce the severity and frequency of alcohol, drug and mental health problems, anti-social and self-harming behaviour in young Australians. Years of misery and harm can be avoided when mental health and drug problems are resolved early.
Its simple! Join our team on the Feb Fast link below and each day record your exercise logs on the SHSC Strava. Strava is FREE, easily sync your Garmin connect for automatic syncs each day or manually add your entries.

"The sandstone pillar, which is a Doric column, was originally one of six which supported the portico of the old Post Office in George Street. That building was demolished after the construction of the present General Post Office (GPO) and one pillar was placed on Bradley's Head in the 1870s or 1880s. It marks one nautical mile from the Fort Denison Tower.
"Several of the sandstone pillars taken from the demolished Sydney Post Office were placed in positions in Sydney, where they could serve new but useful purposes. The one off Bradley's Head, in conjunction with the tower off Fort Denison, was used for speed trials of vessels in Sydney Harbour. Owing to an increased congestion on the Harbour, it is no longer used by the Maritime Services Board for this purpose, but it is an interesting relic of our nautical past.
Olympian Clint Robinson talks about the exit of the stroke and how important it is to finish off the tail end of the stroke to create boat lift and run.
