Out of the freezer and into Lake Ontario. Paddles up...

Looks like dragon boat season is officially underway. I managed to get out on the water twice this weekend for my teams' first on-water practices. Unlike last year I don't think we could have asked for better weather, as it was down right balmy for this time of the year.

Like every first time in the boat, it all starts with the coach insulting your stroke working out the kinks. Consequently, it also leads to huge aches in back muscles you never knew you had and also pains in your rear caused by those two butt bones. It shouldn't even be the case considering how much junk I have in my trunk...




Not sure if I just stepped it down or everyone else just stepped it up this year, but the stroke rate has gotten pretty fast lately. From that time we got embarrassed by the Stratford Women Contrary to popular belief it's not always how fast you can go hit the water but the quality of the stroke...
