Dragon Boat Success Stories: Senta’s First Race

Senta joined DieselFish to make new friends. He found that and so much more!



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

Q: You just finished your first race with Dieselish today. How do you feel? How as the race?
A: We did four races. I wasn’t expecting them to be so tiresome but fulfilling. So what you get out of it is there’s a team. It’s not one person doing something. It’s a bunch of 20 people doing something together in unison and actually winning. It feels good. So that type of a feeling…It’s something beautiful.

Q: Why did you join DieselFish?
A: I moved here recently and I was trying to make friends, and these are the best friends you can make…Once you join the team you are welcome. It’s always friendly and it’s always fun. So you enjoy exercise, the fun the activities, and building friendships. So I love it.

Congratulations, Senta!

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

Q: What do you like about the team experience with DieselFish?
A: Someone asked me if I wanted to join, I was a little hesitant. But I really like DieselFish. They’re very warm. They were welcoming. And it really made me feel like I was part of the team right away.

Q: What was it like racing today?
A: It was a little tough with the wind, but we pulled through it, with a lot of tips here and there. And just being really being able to focus on what we are working on. It was really great!

Q: You started only four or five weeks ago? What made you decide to go out and compete today?
A: I really like the challenge and I really like how everybody came together and gave me the boost, going “Hey, you can do it. Let’s try this one!” I’m really thankful the members are encouraging.

Congratulations, Kathy!
