The Burnwater Spring Sprint dragon boat event on May 4 at False Creek put Nothin’ Dragon on the water for our first races of 2024.
It was exciting to arrive, and shortly after, hear that The Rapids, the youth team we support from Riverside Secondary and Gleneagle Secondary took a gold medial in the B Division!
Our teams Rock and Roll had three 500m races each that day. The second race was a challenge as the currents changed with the tides and winds were high.
Special mention to our steersmen, Bob, Bruce, Brian A and Warren; and drummers Carol and Terry who kept our teams on course and focused.
Here are our race times:
Race 1
Rock 2:29:370
Roll 2:34:703
Race 2
Rock 2:41:771
Roll 2:43:850
Race 3 – Rock and Roll in same race
Rock 2:39:069
Roll 2:39:786
Next we compete at the Knockouts on May 11. Same location. 200m races.
