Montreal DragonFly at the Montreal Summer Splash - 2010
Montreal DragonFlyers!!!
You should all give yourselves a little tap on the shoulder! We did great yesterday!!! I’m still awaiting for the official results on the Summer Splash website and I’ll post them later. We would love to thank all those that helped-us fill the boat and making it possible for the team to participate at this event… such as Leslie, Martin, Aaron, Aric, Gloria and Francis! You guys are always welcome on our boat!
Though, we still have to work on our 500m races… work on our race pace, our techniques and our endurance for it…. 250m & 100m races, we did amazing!!! We blew Melissa’s mind! Here are a couple of videos:
Hope that everybody enjoyed their experience at the Summer Splash and learned from it as well. We have a little over a month to get ready for the Montreal Dragonboat Festival. So, lets work hard, focus on what needs to be improve and work on our endurance!
Note: For the endurance part, you’ll have to work on it on your own freetime. You can’t expect that ONE practice a week will improve your endurance. We don’t want to die after 250-300m into it and ran out of juice during a 500m race, right?
Have a great weekend and I’ll be seeing on next’s Friday’s practice!

P.S. For more photos of the event, Stephanie posted them on FB!
