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.
