Here we are on the eve of our first race of the 2018 paddling season. We have weathered another long, cold winter and have emerged stronger and fitter after months of circuit training at Movati and Rev Con and loads of cardio thanks to a lively accountability challenge!
We’ve been on the water for a few weeks working on race plans and tweaking technique as we prepare for tomorrow’s race at Heart Lake in Brampton.
Tomorrow our 2018 Newbie’s will learn what it’s all about! They will see why we spend so much time in the gym for strength and cardio training. They will finally see what this "dragon boating" thing is all about!
2018 will be another busy year for Rowbust. Not only have we spent the winter training to get stronger and fitter, we also spent a lot of time fundraising because this July we will be sending two crews to International Competition. Our membership worked tirelessly to raise the necessary funds to send these crews overseas and once again our efforts have "paid off"!
First, we will race in Florence, Italy at the IBCPC Participatory Dragon Boat Festival. This event is the Ultimate Celebration of Sisterhood & Survivorship for Breast Cancer Survivor Dragon Boat racing teams from around the globe! This will be Rowbust's 3rd time attending this event that takes place every four years.
Next, we will compete in Szeged, Hungary to defend our IDBF Club Crew World Championship title! We are working hard to ensure we bring the title home to Canada for the 3rd time!
We are excited to share our adventures with you again this year!
