Look at all those sub 2 min times!
And where did FDL come from? Platinum finals? Really?? ;) Gotta keep my eye on them. Btw. loving the live twitter feeds of race results! so much easier to follow what's happening thru out the day Title: Re: Victoria Dragon Boat Festival - Results Post by: sterles on August 20, 2012, 08:26:07 PM The Women's Platinum Championship race was CRAZY! 1-1/2 seconds between first and fifth? Wow. Loved every second of this past weekend!

Btw. loving the live twitter feeds of race results! so much easier to follow what's happening thru out the day I agree. The last couple years the calibre of teams in Victoria has been going up. Its getting harder and harder to just make it into the platinum division, never mind qualify for the finals. This was the first year for open teams. Everyone I talked to loved watching it and racing in it! Hopefully we can get more teams interested next year and have a true division! As for FDL, word around the tents was that they were a thrown together team of One West and Magnum paddlers. Can anyone on here confirm that?

Can anyone on here confirm that? Awe, I'm flattered. My team's tent was right next to them. Apparently they are a mix of One West and ARES. Title: Re: Victoria Dragon Boat Festival - Results Post by: What_the? on August 21, 2012, 08:04:57 AM ^not quite... the total one west count was 1 paddler for FDL
Title: Re: Victoria Dragon Boat Festival - Results Post by: Illuminate on August 21, 2012, 08:30:28 AM There were more One West paddlers on rival teams :whistle:
Title: Re: Victoria Dragon Boat Festival - Results Post by: vicpaddler on August 21, 2012, 08:46:48 AM Ok if they weren't from One West who were they from?
Title: Re: Victoria Dragon Boat Festival - Results Post by: puppy on August 21, 2012, 08:48:27 AM From my understanding there was only 1 one west, a few Ares, a few Lifescan, a few Starbucks Kanaloa, a few Swordfish and a pinch of salt.
Title: Re: Victoria Dragon Boat Festival - Results Post by: Sunman222 on August 21, 2012, 09:58:24 AM Maybe next year if my home team doesn't come, I can join a mix team :) I was with Paddles of Fury and last year with BlewByU.
Oh and anyone is thinking about coming to Portland for the race in a few weeks, let me know. My team can host a few people. Title: Re: Victoria Dragon Boat Festival - Results Post by: mandachan on August 21, 2012, 10:36:19 AM From my understanding there was only 1 one west, a few Ares, a few Lifescan, a few Starbucks Kanaloa, a few Swordfish and a pinch of salt. Yup. 12 cups Ares 6 cups Starbucks Kanaloa 4 tbsp Lifescan 2 tsp Free agents (no current team) 1 dash Swordfish 1 pinch One West Puppy knows. It wasn't as bad of a blending nightmare as we thought. We had 2 practices to do it :shock: Title: Re: Victoria Dragon Boat Festival - Results Post by: mappingguy on August 21, 2012, 10:54:31 AM Nice cooking mandachan!
Title: Re: Victoria Dragon Boat Festival - Results Post by: puppy on August 21, 2012, 11:37:46 AM What do u call this dish?
Title: Re: Victoria Dragon Boat Festival - Results Post by: mandachan on August 21, 2012, 11:43:50 AM Thanks Mapping. The whole experience simply cemented my respect for Ares' friendly teams and their coaches. Very fine athletes to work with.
Puppy. We call it Fai Dee Lah. Also often heard as Fai Dee Lo, Feu Dee Loi, Fey Dee Lai, and everything else possible. Lol |
