Cling, Cling, Cling, Cling

Sorry I didn’t get this up sooner, but we were longer at the race site than expected and the hotel is having internet problems. It is currently 9pm, Aug 1.


So, I ask you, what sound does 1 bronze medal make on it’s own?? Not much, if you ask me.


How about 2 bronze medals???


Cling, Cling, Cling, Cling


Yes, the GD’s raced their hearts out today and brought home another medal.

Top three finishers in the Premier Mixed 200m Grand Final were all from Canada again. Same teams, Same order.

We are all eager to catch Mayfair and Sudbury in the 500m tomorrow, it is our strongest distance.

At the Team Phoenix practice last night, all the buzz was about the GDs and your first bronze! Now you have a matched set! We're all so excited at your successes!

Only two Canadian teams between you and the gold? Hah! Enough toying with them... leave 'em eating your wake!

And congrats to the other Canucks too for doing so well!

May your next post be "Bling, Bling, Bling, Bling!" with another shiny medal!

Congratulations to each of you. Your dedication is admirable, and you have more than earned your elite status as powerful Dragonboaters!

Mel, it brings tears to my eyes to know you are doing so well. I am proud of you!
