We had our final practice sessions on Sunday afternoon, with our first big race of the season fast approaching next Saturday morning. We were really pushed hard by the trainers and today I have lower backpain, sore hips, aching arms, and cramping calf muscles, to name a few! Me thinks I'd rather play rugby for the Taichung Teletubbies again.Sarah is doing very well and listening to the compliments, she's an undiscovered rowing talent.
All in all a beautiful day in Key Biscayne. Downtown Miami and the Keys are a sight to behold. I could kick myself for not taking the camera along.
Some more info on Dragon boat racing:
Apparently it is the world's fastest growing water sport. Twenty paddlers move in unison, combining strength with teamwork in streamlined boats with elaborate designs originating in ancient China.
Saturday there'll be 42 teams lining up...
