Had something totally different I wanted to write today but after what happened today.. I’m just numb…

Tonight’s Dragon Boat practice went from pretty freakin awesome to freakin scary. I say it was pretty freakin awesome because we had the power and were gliding though the water like our top team in our club and that I moved up in the boat… Tooo bench 3.. which I’m not use to I like the back of the boat cause of the fast water..

Then someone switched a switch and it went into freakin scary! One of my teammates pulled something in his back as we were working on a race piece as we were about 10 minutes out from the dock but we made it there under 4 minutes. Yay US!!!! When we got to the dock him and two of our teammates who have first aid went with him to the walk in clinic but as they were getting there he passed out so now they are in emergency. I hate this feeling of hurry up and wait to find out how he is doing..

Tonight’s practice was prepping us for this Saturdays regatta.

Hope everyone had a better Monday then I did..

C4AC #3 – Bling

Today was my clubs / areas 1st regatta of the season.. It was great fun but for the rain, rain and more rain that happened all day. No matter how many changes of clothes you bring or what your always gonna be feeling cold and damp.

I do have to say I’m VERY pleased with the club I paddle with each boat came home with a medal … Our most competitive team came home with a bronze in the A Final, our Youth team came home with a silver in the B Final (they were the only youth team there too) and the boat I was paddling on placed took home another bronze in the C Final. Which is freaking awesome with a boat full of newbies and 9 returning paddlers.

Wasn’t pleased when the zipper tag thingie on my pfd broke off (the pfd is 6 years old though) and before the 3rd race of the day one of my contacts popped out, thankfully I had extras in my bag but putting it back in without a mirror not fun.
