Dragon Boat Sprint Race

Last Sunday was the 5th annual California Dragon Boat Association dragon boat sprint race which was held at the Quarry Lakes in Fremont. The event is called a sprint race because this is 250m instead of the normal dragon boat race length of 500m. I participated in two teams, BAD3 which is a mixed team and BAD Mens Foster City. BAD3 finished in 2nd place in division D. The finals race for division D was our best performance, everyone felt good at how we were in sync and efficient in our paddling. It was a very fun experience but very exhausting. Not having enough sleep the night before, eating only snacks the whole time (we were advised not to eat a full meal), and completing 4 sprint races - at the end of the day, I was spent.

Photos to come.
