Dragon Boat Success Stories — Michelle’s First Race

What does a former kickboxer do when she needs a new challenge?

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

DieselFish: This is Michelle. She just finished her first dragon boat race with DieselFish! How do you feel, Michelle?

Michelle: I feel really great! I have such an adrenaline rush right now. The water was all in my hair, [my hair’s] still wet from all the water splashing in my face, and my heart’s still racing. But I had so much fun!

DieselFish: Why did you join DieselFish?

Michelle: I missed being part of a team, so I was looking around and I felt this is the best fit, and the team looked like it was so much fun. Everything that it’s doing that I saw online was really great.

DieselFish: You mentioned that you missed the team experience. What other team sports have you done in the past?

Michelle: Track and field, and in college I was in volleyball, and I use to kickbox a lot. I’m into a lot of sports, so this is just something that pulls everything together — you can be active, you can do sports, you can meet a lot of people, and find really great competition. It’s like having another family with you. So that’s why.

DieselFish: That’s great! Now what are your hopes for the season? What do you want to accomplish?

Michelle: I want to keep getting better at the sport and to continue practicing, going to all the practices, and being a contributor to the team!

DieselFish: Thank you, Michelle! Have a great season!

Michelle: Thank you!
