Overall this was a great day for False Creek, Dragon Zone and Canada. All the teams represented well.  In the mixed division final on sunday, FCRCC Dragon Hearts Beat and FCRCC Starbucks Waverunners Sumatra did not advance, as they finished in 5th and 6th repsectively (only top 4 in each semi advances)

No Canadian teams sunk, except for the plugs in each of the small boats kept popping out

We saw one team capsize

Tomorrow is the standard boat races. This is going to be interesting and a true test of the quality of our coaching and stroke technique

good night from a very wet Hong Kong

Thanks for sharing Chow Chow ~ I mean Puppy!

Great way to represent Canada to all of you "good luck racing"!! 

Looking forward to seeing some pics and some video of some great racing!

Hope it stops raining for you all!  Cheers from Vancouver!

Results from the first race for FCRCC Premier Open:

1. FCRCC Premier Open - 2.18620
2. Yokohama dragonboat team - 2.21950
3. Savage International dragonboat team - 2.26860
4. Anak Malaysia - 2.27140
5. Royal Australian Navy - DNS
6. Hong Kong Team - DNS

The team got off to a good start and kept with the rest of the teams in the race.  We were slightly behind, but by the middle we caught up with the teams and surpassed them by over a boat length.  It was a smooth race that went well and gave us more experience to build upon for the rest of the day and the weekend.  As a whole team, it was our first race in an 18-man boat and we hope to continue to build upon this race to improve ourselves as one team.  We were anxious but knew we had to race our own race.

Results for the first race for FCRCC Premiere Women:

1.Star River Jiu Jiang Dragon Boat Women's Team - 2.14.650
2.Thailand Team - 2.17.150
3.FCRCC Premiere Team - 2.32.760

From the angle we were watching, FCRCC seemed to have a good start.  Soon after though,
Thailand made some kind of powerful surge to get a few seats ahead.  As the race went on, we started falling back, and Star River started overtaking Thailand. We were looking tired halfway throughout the race. In the end, the two asian teams crossed the line without any sign of FCRCC coming in on camera for a bit. An exciting race near the end, unfortunately, not involving our women

There's really no shame losing to those two teams

What an eventful day.  I did not post all the items above.  Different people from different teams used my id and posted results all day

In the morning, when all the teams arrived, most people were comfortable with the race format form Friday. What we could not prepare everyone for was the sights, sounds, smell and visual sensory over load.  We told everyone to take a deep breath and race their race   After each team got through their first race of the day, everyone started to calm down. 

The open team did a magnificent job today - coming first and second in the preliminary rounds. Thailand and china being first and second. 

In the open 2000m race, we swapped out three men for three women. We won 1st place.  The gold trophy and medals are coming home

The women came in third in both races and will advance to the women's cup final

Creakside Masters are surprising slot of teams out there.  The impression is that they see old people but on the water, Creakside has been on the heal of the starbucks Komodo team in every race.  This will be an interesting championship race


Starbucks Waverunners Komodo is doing really well. They came in third in both mix qualifiers.  The team had a slight meltdown on Thursdays practice but they stuck together like a team and have represented well

[puppy]

The biggest surprise of the day has been dragon hearts beat.  Their push to get better has really shown today. 

Both Lifescan, riptide and Starbucks Waverunners Sumatra are doing well. To make it into the cup division, they will need to knock off Thailand or china.  I don't think is is going to happen but they will be either in the plate or bowl division.

The spectators are all amazed by the Canadian turnout. They can believe the size of our team

Tomorrow will be the 500 and 250 meter final races. 

I can't believe all this planning is coming to an end.  I'm going to be sad to see everyone go back to Canada but I'm thrilled to say 150 plus people will have had a time of their lives. 

Our trusted photographer will be posting shots later

No teams flipped today but lots of collisions and restarts

Ihad an unfortunate situation, when I was steering the open 2000m race, the steering oar hit my watch and knocked it off.  You can hear me screaming at the race official to help me try to pick it up. No luck.  Just lost $350 garmin watch but got a gold medal with the best open team. = priceless

It's sunday here in Hong Kong. We all had an early start aT 7AM  the day started well and we have won some gold/silvers trophies.


However, Team Canada has been hit with some bad news....

One of our paddlers walked onto the barge and slipped. Her fall was bad. She broke her ankle in two plaes and is current surgery.  She's at the QE hospital in Hong kong

We will keep everyone updated on her progress. For confidentiality i will not be releasing her name or team affiliation  i would like to respect their privacy

In addition, another one of our paddlers has blown his rotator cuff in the small boat race.  He will not be racing any further

Updates to follow shortly for race results

We are all praying for a speedy recovery

[puppy]

Sorry my brain is fried but it looks like Canada has won 11 cup trophies and 4 plate trophies.  A total of 15 awards from 8 teams.  Congratulations canada

[RenalPaddler]

Congratulations to all the teams representing Canada, proud of you guys. Too bad one of those cups wasn't the Stanley Cup. 

[Rob]

That's unfortunate about the fall, and the rotator injury.  I bit of a downer after everyone was haveing the time of thier lives.  Let's hope for a speedy recovery and a safe journey back for the rest of the teams.  Great job again Puppy.
