Paddling Dragon boats from Grand Hyatt to Katara

Paddling from Grand Hyatt to Katara 9KM paddle, It was great paddling with a lot of endurance sets.

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 :)

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.
