Team & Community Spirit
The event was perfect, the weather was perfect and everyone is happily exhausted after 2 days of dragon boating and volunteering in between races!
I would like to send out kudos to the racers who came out to not only race in the Banff National Park Dragon Boat Festival, but to also give a hand when needed. The thing about events is they take a lot of people contributing their time to make it a success... this event was a HUGE success!
Saturdays races split the teams into their divisions, A, B and C. Sunday saw the teams fighting to place in the medal positions.
Gold medals went to - CP Dragnum out of Calgary in division A, while division B was won by "TomAto Tomato" also out of Calgary, and division C was won by a LOCAL team... "One Beer Too Many" aka Henry's Electric.
Curious as to how we did? "Feel the Burn" aka Banff Lake Louise Tourism placed second in the B division races. Considering we had some paddlers who had never paddled a dragon boat until that day, and the rest of us had only paddled maybe 7 times, I'm incredibly impressed with our drive to succeed at everything we do!
