This is DieselFish Dragon Boat Team’s 25th season! We’re going to celebrate this milestone by sharing memories from our past. Read on to learn about the team’s greatest triumphs and challenges—as told by the people that were there. Buckle up! This is the story of DieselFish.
Here’s a conversation I had with Mika. For many years, Mika was a fixture at our practices and social events. She also stroked for our competitive race crew on many occasions.
DF: When did you paddle with DieselFish?
Mika: 2010–2014
DF: Why did you join DieselFish?
Mika: I had had an interest in
paddling for a very long time, also wanted to meet people and loved that it was
a social event, a physical workout, and a mental meditation all in one!
DF: Tell us your favorite DieselFish story:
Mika: Winning a medal at the Long Beach festival was
a career highlight. The championship race was intense. We gave it everything we
had and won.
DF: How did DieselFish change your life?
Mika: While paddling with
DieselFish I made reason, season, and life-time friends! I was also in the best
shape of my life thanks to DieselFish (and fortunately that level of fitness
carried me through for several years beyond!).
DF: Thanks for sharing your memories, Mika. We miss you!
