remembering hype

Celebrating a remarkable woman, coach, mentor, friend and all around badass Dr. Hype Mattingly -“Hypatia” A scientist, a force of nature, a paddling teammate. Because of Hype we found our tunnel, we have entered the hurt locker, we have at it, we throw it down, we can do anything for a minute. We are warriors, we will leave a mark, we find more water, we give 5 more and more, we are part of a tribe, a family, a community We are friends, leaders, a good boat and we won’t let some other chick eat our lunch. We cradle a baby bird, we are ninjas, scrappy, dirtbags, peeps, champions, beastsand engines that will not quit.
