21-22 June 2008.
The annual Dragon Boat Festival is the biggest dragon boat regatta in North America. Teams from all walks of life came from all over North America.
We almost got disqualified in the 2nd heat as our steersperson went AWOL. Thankfully, a bloke called Stephen Wong from the Gung Haggis Fat Choy team came to the rescue and steered for us.
The team pulled together when it mattered. In our final race, we came in with a bronze medal at 2 minutes 26.12 seconds.
Great effort team!

Imagine this is us...except about 30 seconds slower!

The race is 500m = 3 minutes of intense paddling. Our muscles were certainly burning by the time we crossed the finish line!
