Division 'A' 3rd place
250m
1st place
2000m
3rd place
We qualified for "A" Division and won 3rd place so we got Medals!! That brings my count up to 3!! I have 1-gold 1-silver and 1-bronze medal =) Even though Dan.Ho thinks they all look the same!
The 500m was good, we just need to work more on our high intensity endurance and technique as always. The 250m was sooooo fun its really short, our teams endurance level is well suited for this length. At the end of the day half of the team participated in the 2000m race with some other paddlers. I actually found it quite enjoyable, I love the challenge. Since I didn't want to hurt my shoulder I paddled the 2000m on the other side which helped me get through the whole race. Finally what a great finish we pulled it together at the end I felt it! Extremely exhausted now. We've been training so hard and its gonna get more intense next week with 3 training days (Tuesday/Thursday & Friday) with our race this coming Saturday in Waterloo.

I can't believe dragonboat season is coming to an end... Developing fitness, having fun, and making friendships are what makes the sport so addictive. I don't want it to end! So team if your reading this we gotta do a winter sport together I'm serious

oops looks like it's goign to be different. but don't push it, as Jason said, the humidex is 40 + .. I think we'll get tired and injured from that if we push it too hard.
