I think I've done quite a lot in my thirty three years here on earth & I'm always trying to expand on my experiences as new ones come my way. Up until about six months ago I didn't even know what dragon boat racing was. Fast forward a few months and I'm now digging my oar down the Schuylkill River in Philly with a few of my fellow thr girls participating in the 11th annual Dragon Boat Festival. 

Each year there are appx. 100 dragon boats making their way down the river participating in a day of madness that consists of waking before one was intended to rise, chilling by your tent with a whole bunch of other crazies (I love crazies, just in case you were unsure) and attempting to kick some oar during your heat.
