Hey Team!

Nice turn out today a full boat! ya-hoo! Note the count down timer as we move along towards Tempe- its like Marshall says- time to get serious!

If the rest between pieces is too long- then work harder on the paddle piece! But gauging by everyones admission to it- we will reduce the rest time, and push your efforts up a notch- that means that what was, isn't anymore, what will be, is harder!

C'mon on out Thursday nights @615pm. You know what? The other teams competing in Tempe and Long Beach are Dragon Boat specific paddlers, and that is their only discipline and that is what they are training for- not outrigger, not running, not swimming, not biking- pure and simple- dragon boat racing.

Time to say good-bye to 60 spm...BAM! we're taking it up a notch!

See you Thursday- on the water at 615!

Hey Team-

This is an open invite to the men and women who are paddling in Tempe at the end of March- we are now adding a Thursday night practice to the schedule- on the water at 6:15 pm.

You will get an hour of quality paddling - giving your cardio the kick-start it needs to be able to maintain the winning reputation that SDDBT boasts!

Come on out join us for Thursday nights under the stars!

Must be what it's like to paddle in London. The fog was so thick we couldnt see the second boat after they took a 20 stroke lead on us! Ok.. Bye Jerry and other crew! Have fun- hope we dont "run into you" on the water! It was eerily odd, as we paddled out into the thick stillness of the morning. We stayed close to Fiesta shoreline, listening for Jerry's whistle or the splash of the paddle as it hit the water. But heard nothing, and saw even less.
We continued our workout as planned, and hoped for the best! It was a good long 2 hours of paddling- and pushing each other to the next level.
With just over a month left to ready for Tempe, we are focusing hard on getting into race mode and mentality.
