Round of Applause for the Dragon Flyers

The St. Paddy's Day at Lake Merritt race was a huge success with participation from Dragonmax, Renegades, Fishtix, Pirates, and the Dragon Fliers. The Dragon Flyers were able to take home first place and become the first ever reigning champions for the St. Patrick's Day race. Dragonmax Team A&B took home second and third place and the Renegades were perfect competition for everyone. Fishtix were table to race with other teams in other races such as the 1000 meter race, the All Men's Race, and the All Women's race and we proved to be equals to many of the adult paddlers. The Fishtix, in the end, lost to our rivals, the San Leandro Pirates. But in this loss we were able to see where our shortcomings were from and Coach David is formulating new practice regiments to help and make these shortcomings into strengths we can use at the Lake Merced race. A great thanks to the coordinators who put together this great event and for all the volunteers at the Lake Merritt Boat House who helped us load and dock the boats. Great job to everyone and the Fishtix hope to see all the members at this Wednesday's practice.
