Red Dragons Corporate Regatta - 2nd July

Congratulations to our fabulous Pink Snapdragons for winning Bronze at the Red Dragons Corporate Regatta last saturday!  
A few words from our coach about the day.....
"Congratulations to all the corporate regatta paddlers. What a fantastic result. Just to make the major final was a significant result and to run third against the more athletic and male dominated crews was awesome. I wished I was there to witness it, however I do have my spies and their comments were enough to fill me full of optimism for our future regattas with the National Breast Cancer regatta foremost in my mind.

Your boat captain Donna had this to say. “The team performed really well yesterday – it was great getting a medal for third place in the major final. The day reinforced to everyone what it is like to race as a crew with our fantastic camaraderie and support from other pinkies and bosom buddies such as Dani, Maz and Rhonda”.

A special thanks to Lyn Grigg for her role as Team Manager. Having someone there to take the pressure off the coach and boat captain pays dividends in the end. It must work, I wasn’t even needed!!!!.

Now the hard work starts. We have Tin Can Bay in 20 days time. Only 2 more Saturday trainings to fine tune our starts and race plans. Then we start on our training plan for the Nationals at Kawana in September.

Well done everyone”
