Three cheers for Grace! She recently joined DieselFish
after hearing about the team from a former coworker (thanks, JT!). You can tell
that Grace had a great time at our latest race—look at her heart-pounding,
adrenaline-filled recollection of our championship heat below. You can feel the
excitement of dragon boat racing, too! Email me now at DFcaptains@gmail.com for details.
DF: How did you find out about dragon boat?
Grace: My former coworker used to be part of DieselFish
and advertised a free trial session on her social media. I happened to see it
and was interested. She said it was a lot of fun with a great group of people
and that I should try it out. So I did!
DF: Why did you join DieselFish?
Grace: For the friends, exercise, and fun!
DF: What do you like about dragon boat paddling?
Grace: I love the team aspect. I also found out that
proper dragon boat paddling form is to use the core, whereas I had previously
always been under the impression that it was all arms.
DF: What was it like to compete at the CDBA Sprint Race?
Grace: Having never raced before, I was initially very
nervous and anxious before we started. However, the adrenaline was full force
once we paddled out for line-up. I had to remind myself to just breathe, focus
on matching the strokes’ timing [Minister’s note: the strokes set the pace for
the rest of the boat], and trust the team. During the final race, hearing
teammates yell words of encouragement and count in unison really helped us all
dig deep, so that we could get across the finish line. I can't wait for the
next race!!
