DC Dragon Boat Festival 2023










 

I raced 4 times for the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO) today, twice 200 meters and twice 500 meters. I used to be able to overflow to fill the vacant spots for other teams to race more, but all the teams were all full today.
We ran into a questionable stirrer who slowed us down twice and capsized two other boats. Glad that we made it without flipping over the boat and won a gold medal in the 500-meter race.
I woke up 6 am in the cold and foggy morning to catch the 1st silver line metro train to Foggy Bottom this morning to make into the opening ceremony. The weather turned hot and sunny in the afternoon. I ate some bread and drank bobble tea for lunch, and delayed the giant food box until I finished running after got home. I am saving the rice dumping 粽子for tomorrow. BTW, I tasted a pineapple cake shaped like the Island Taiwan.
I was hoping to run 10 miles but ended up only 4.6 miles before it rained. I only ran 10 miles Sunday morning, so still short of 5 miles to complete my 20 hike/run mile weekend goal.
