2 Hour dragon boating this morning really took alot out of me. In the past practices I'd been at the back of the boat. But today, by way of Iris' request to our coach Michael, I was paddling at the fourth row. It really was a good way for me to try out different positions on the boat. The water current was not as fast as it was at the back. But there's no way that I could be in the engine room. =P Sky was super clear... as a result, I got a bad sunburn...
Team BBQ after the practice was organized by our team captains. The work was done by our coach since he didn't paddle! It's a good way to get to know who's on our team. Food was amazing - angus beef burger, veggie skewers, cobs of corn, smoked salmon bbq'ed, booze, and finally fruit flan and raspberry cheesecake to round out this big meal.
After the meal, we headed over to Mountain Equipment Coop to look at some clothing and gloves. Bought a pair of gloves for $19. Will consider other clothing if need be.
In the evening, met up with Katrina, Jason and Kristi for dinner. J+K came all the way from Montreal, in preparation for J's thesis defence. Dinner spot was of course the Old Spaghetti Factory. I couldn't stop laughing at some of the things they said about studying in Montreal!!
Jason, thanks for the ride tonight and BEST OF LUCK on your defence on Monday!
Alan, Katrina and &Co, Enjoy the SportingLife 10K run tomorrow! Good luck!!!
I think I caught a cold on Saturday. It was freeeezing! And 2 hrs of practice is just too much. I am so sore =S
