3/1/14 DieselFish Dragon Boat Team Practice Log

ACTION ITEMS: more cardio, less boba

When: Saturday, March 1, 2014, 10-noon

Where: Bair Island Aquatic Center, Redwood City, San Francisco Bay Area

What We Learned

Coach Robert had a surprise for us today. The crew’s technique has improved, so Robert had us paddle endurance pieces to build up our stamina. This shift makes sense -- we’re getting closer to our first dragon boat race of the season, so we should work on improving our cardio rates and mental toughness. But it’s hard to be understanding when your core and leg muscles are burning. What a work out!

What We Ate

It’s important to consume protein after a heavy workout, so we went to an old favorite for lunch after practice. L&L Hawaiian Barbeque is one of the team’s go-to restaurants because they serve large portions of meat. I couldn’t finish the barbeque beef plate lunch I ordered, so I had to take some home with me. We decided that we deserved a treat for toughing it out during practice, so we then went to Quickly for milk tea.

ACTION ITEMS: More cardio, less boba
