Paddling Dragon boats from Grand Hyatt to Katara -Try 1

Just the next day after the competition early morning we tried with other teams of the dragon boating community in Doha to paddle the dragon boats back to Katara from Grand Hyatt hotel, we started steady but suddenly after leaving the hotel sea area the waives started to hit really hard on the boats and the boats started to fill of water really fast, the decision was made by our coaches to just stop paddling and anchor the boats at the Pearl marina.

Later that day with the help of the speed boat we manage to pull the boats back to Grand Hyatt with the decision to leave it there for the next week.

It was great adventure to paddle in the waivy sea ... the adrenaline levels got high to the max :)

Angry Dragons Pool training

Jeff is just an amazing coach ... today he used his house pool for our training session, i didn't even thought that pool training will be as hard as the sea training but actually it was harder.

Nice training with good resistance sets and a lot of individual notes and form correction by Jeff.

My first Dragon boat training session

I just came to advertisement in Qatar living forum about recruiting for the Angry Dragons team in Doha, so i thought OK why i don't give it a try, i came today for the training session knowing nothing about dragon boating and paddling, but after the first session i got hooked to this sport, amazing workout that make your whole body shake after finishing the training, and a real definition of a team work ... for sure i will be part of this amazing team ... thank you Jeff for such a great opportunity
