Season’s over!
By Ellis | Oct 12, 2008
October 4-5 weekend marked the KP Dragonboat Race @ Treasure Island (www.sfdragonboat.com), which also meant the end of my dragonboat season.
My team, DieselFish did pretty well. Our DF1 crew took 1st in the Comp B division. While DF2 (my crew) and DF3 both ended up in the Rec B division. Even though DF2 made it to the championship, we were just edged out of hardware taking 4th in the division. In any case, we put on a strong showing, and I’m proud of our performance.
In any case, here are a few photos from racing weekend with my team DieselFish:
My team!
Todd and Victor, getting friendly. Todd's from LARD (Los Angeles Racing Dragons), our sister team from LA.
Tamara, a fellow Dieselfishie filling in for LARD (hence the confusing wardrobe).
Racing! That's me as the front right paddler of boat 4. My brother Gary snapped this one.
Mish & Brandon's Baby Jaden, taking a break between racing heats.

Fearless Coach Mark. He said if we took first, he'd shave his head...this is him realizing the reality.
Tamara (in proper DF attire) and Claire, showing off their bling.

Oh man, do I look forward to the 2009 season! Go DieselFish!
For now, I’ll be taking up rock climbing again.
