It all started with an itty bitty 20KM dragon boat race...

2 hungry dragons determined to become world champs!

We started paddling in 2006, but it was the summer of 2008 that we REALLY decided this dragon boat thing was pretty awesome... and found out that there was this whole big world of it we hadn't imagined even existed. We threw together a team of misfits and entered our first ever 20km race... ("who knows what will happen but hey, it sounds like crazy fun!")... and realized... THIS is what we wanted to do for the rest of forever.

We didn't do spectacularly well in the race - unless you count the fact that we a) finished and b) didn't come dead last. It inspired us to get fitter, lose a little more weight, and see what else we could accomplish. We've run road races together in sun, rain and snow, tried the Sugarbush Winter Games (err.. nuts!), and just had a lot of fun in the process. Now, 2 years later, we're hungry for more more more, we're training our butts off and traveling to Montreal (that's where the action is!) on a weekly basis, and have set our sights on 3 world championships: 2011 in Tampa; 2012 in Hong Kong, and 2014 in Italy. The road ahead promises tears, laughter, sore muscles, frustration, anger, joy and a whole lot of paddling. The journey starts today.
