DieselFish Dragon Boat Team
Redwood City, CA / Silicon Valley
PADDLERS ARE YOU READY? GO! DieselFish thrusts its paddles into the Bay and then rips through the water. UP! UP! UP! The San Francisco Bay Area team quickens its rate, causing the boat to surge forward. This pace is grueling, but DieselFish is prepared – the team’s members improved their cardio rates. READY AND REACH! DieselFish shifts to a steady cruising speed. This transition is difficult, but the team practiced it countless times. FINISH IT NOW! DieselFish shortens its strokes and hurtles toward the finish line. Visit us at DieselFish.org now to find out what happens next and to learn how YOU can join our next adventure!
