DieselFish's First Dragon Boat Race of 2014






Your Minister of Newbie Happiness is proud of you



Good job at the CDBA Regional Regatta, DieselFish! This year's race at Lake Merced in San Francisco was filled with adventures and surprises. Here are my highlights:

><((((º> Racing on the left side of the boat for the first time:

I’ve always struggled with paddling on the left. But this season, the coaches pushed me to become ambidextrous.
 

><((((º> Seeing Charles, Elise and Lin again:
Nothing good gets away. Charles drove all the way from LA just to race with us! Lin and Elise have become the team’s moms.
 

><((((º> Getting to know our new recruits:
Congrats to Eva, Ferzeen, Jason, Lucy and Rachel for completing their first race!
 

><((((º> Improving in every race:
It’s encouraging to see constant improvement! Let's see where this momentum takes us.

The sprint races are next! GO DIESEL!
