Dragon Boat Success Stories: Rachel's First Race



How did Rachel get outside her comfort zone?





You never forget your first dragon boat race with DieselFish! Rachel just rocked her first race at Lake Merced in San Francisco. Here’s what she had to say about it!

- Alex, the Minister of Newbie Happiness

DieselFish: Hi, this is Rachel. She just had her first race with DieselFish. How do you feel?

Rachel: I feel pretty good! It was just like practice except a little higher energy and higher adrenaline, so it actually went by very quickly and I didn’t have any reason to be nervous and it was awesome!

DieselFish: Why did you join the team?

Rachel: I joined because I wanted to meet crazy people like Aric [points to Captain Aric], and do something different, learn a new skill, get outside of my comfort zone and have fun.

DieselFish: What do you want to do this year? What are your goals?

Rachel: My goals are just to build stamina, work on technique and figure out what this is all about and get to know all the cool people on the DieselFish team and have some fun.

DieselFish: All right, well you’re headed in the right direction. Thanks, Rachel!

Rachel: Thanks, Alex!
