Milton Dragonboat Festival

We just had our first Official Dragonboat Race Day! The Lively Dragon sponsored dragonboat festival in Milton was the venue where we participated in a 250m, three 500m and a 2000m course. We got 2nd place overall in our division for the 500m.

Eight of us also helped paddle for the Steel City Paddlers of Hamilton. I raced an additional two 250m courses so I did a total of 7 races that day! I was exhausted! For those of us that raced with the Steel City Paddlers we won a first place medal in that division =D

It started to rain heavily but we endured! After all was said and done we went to Mandarin Buffet and celebrated the great start to the season. I slightly injured my shoulder but its almost better.

Come watch us next at The Toronto International Dragon Boat Festival which is slated for June 25/26th.
