Top ten signs that you’re a Hardcore Dragon Boater:
This poem has been around forever but I just love it.
10. After a meeting at work, you form a line outside the boardroom and high-five everyone as they file out.
9. Brother’s wedding or the Dragon Boat Festival? Why, that practically answers itself.
8. When stopped at an intersection, you see a car creeping over the solid white line and yell, “man in the red Ford “back it down or you’re disqualified!”
7. You have calluses on your ass and palms the size of quarters
6. When running with your friends to catch the last train home from work, you yell “series in 3*2*1″.
5. You are starting to resemble the body shape of a gorilla.
4. You know what a heart attack feels like already.
3. You argue with a 90 year old lady who is sitting in the middle of the bus, claiming that you always sit in the ‘engine room’.
2. After a bout of lovemaking with your significant other, you say ‘let it run’
1. You have finally found something that smells worse than your hockey bag…PADDLING SHOES!
** You know when, I’ve been in the sport to long: WHEN I was giving birth I was breathing like your at a start and I even was doing the start calls (in my head) until a nurse told me I can stop breathing heavily….you have a baby girl.

Hi, the name is Kimm, I'm a 30 year old Canadian who has been online since 1999. For the last 16 years my main passion has been dragon boating where I've eaten, slept and breathed it and raced all over North America. 









LOVE THIS !!!
I can relate … thanks for the giggle!!!
The last one was just adorable and heart catching.
Haha that is cute. I also love that last one.
Haha, #1 made me laugh. So cute though
LOL this list is awesome. :P
How about when you hear the monotone beat of a drum, you get all into a frenzy and start moving in synch to it?
