DF: You just completed your first dragon boat race with DieselFish.
How do you feel?
L: It was great learning what a race day is like. I did a
lot of snacking and soaked up the festival spirit. I did a total of four races
throughout the day but wasn’t tired afterwards.
DF: What advice would you give to other new paddlers who
are about to race for the first time?
L: The day was a lot more chill than expected but getting
a medal is a lot harder than expected. The team provided great equipment, so
don’t stress if you don’t have a paddle and seat pad.
DF: Why do you like dragon boat racing?
L: I like the festival spirit. It’s basically a day of
snacking and chatting, and you get to mingle with other teams.
DF: Why do you like DieselFish?
L: I like that DieselFish is inclusive despite the team
members having very different skill levels. Everybody got to race, and we never
single out members that are out of practice.
