One Body...One Mind...One Heart...
DragonHeart!
This is our story...
Whooo....where did it go...
from the dream, to Iowa for pool paddling, to Florida for training camp,bringing the boat home, paddling on the Mighty Grand, community events to promote the Capital City Dragon Boat Race...Be a Tourist, Chili Cook Off, Cooley Law School Stadium, Hawk Island Trialthon, the On-The-Water-Experiences, off to race in Chicago and...the Capital City Dragon Boat Race....What an inaugural year!
What's next? Off season training...of course! Our initial goal is to have a solid base training when we return to Florida for the Bow Wave Dragon Boat Training. We are beginning a 'cutting edge' body weight training within a yoga asana practice for the next ten weeks combined with cardio work. We learned that not only do we need the obvious strength and endurance capabilities, we need to have a body that is 'open' to allow the maximum amount of our energy to be efficiently transferred to the paddle blade...yay yoga asana.
Remember...Dragon Boating is the fastest growing water sport in America as offers an alternative to individual as well as team participation in an environment where 'one can be greater than themselves'. Imagine 20 people doing anything together, in unison towards a common end...doing just that in a dragon boat opens the way to experiencing unity, togetherness and may I say...oneness in our individual 'worlds'...and beyond...
