Dragonboat - sprints are coming up!

I had my fourth dragonboat practice today (missed last week because I chickened out during a flash storm - crazy rains + flooding on streets + lightening and thunder) Anyway, we had an awesome practice today. The sun was shining, the weather was warm, and the river was calm. We practiced starts - which basically means paddle HARD and FAST for a set pattern - so for us, it was 6 strokes, 8 strokes, 8 strokes, then power strokes... it was crazy to feel the boat lurch forward and very fun too! Surprisingly, I did not run out of breath once so I am pumped for this Sunday's 'sprint' races. We do half races (so only 250 feet) instead of 500 feet. Hopefully our team will do well!

I don't blame you for not wanting to be out in the open water during a flash storm. All this paddling must be doing wonders for your arm muscles :) Good luck on Sunday!
