Ever heard of Dragon Boats?
We are racing by paddling these skinny boats to the finish.
My husband decided to be the team manager for our church. The church hasn’t competed in a few years but a lot of people couldn’t wait to sign up for this years races…including myself. My husband and I have seen the races but never competed before.
Oh Boy, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into (my husband kept asking me if I was sure that I wanted to do this…I should have taken it as a sign…but I felt up for the challenge). We have had a couple of practices now and they kicked my butt! I definitely didn’t think that it would be easy but I figured I could do it and it would be good exercise for me. There is no doubt now that it is good exercise.
Our team consists of 10 paddlers and one drummer. The most important thing while racing is to stay together which is easier said than done. We have a couple more practices until the big race weekend… June 19-20. I am so excited to be participating and I can’t wait to see the rewards of all our hard work.
