Accepting the trophy! Baptizing the trophy!
The Dragon’s Abreast Dragon Boat Regatta was held today with a record 37 teams taking part! Pioneer Training held their own in the first race against a quick group coming in at 1min flat for second place. Our second heat was nerve wracking as we took the line against very male dominated teams, but after we exchanged friendly banter to the other teams at the start line we settled in and focused on our job ….and took out first place! So with a second and first place we cruised through to the final. Unfortunately this race was super close and we had to wait for ages for the decision as we were the first race to call upon the video replay as our team and another team seemed to draw for first place! After much deliberation it was decided we took second place. Not to worry though, our girls had smashed most of the men out of the lake today and we picked up 1 first place and 2 seconds! And might we add the fastest female team on the water.
The Pioneer Team would like to thank Drew our sweep for all his help in training and in the race, may he wear his Pioneer hat with pride! Thank you also to Jenny B for taking some awesome photos and to MIchael, Dennis, Taylah and Hannah for getting some great video and camera footage of our girls at their finest! Thank you to Ann and Dennis for hosting the celebrational pool party! Yee Ha!
Jenna and I would like to thank our girls on the boat today for an amazing performance! You made us extremely proud, and we received great comments from the crowd and teams on how well you went and how fit and awesome you look! We could kiss you all!!!!!!!!
As for the girls still kicking on at the after party…please don’t lose the damn trophy!
