Day 1
The scorching sun of the summer season shone brightly in the sky. Once again, the Marina Promontory is abuzz with activities as paddlers from various teams gather today to compete in the event of the year, the DBS Marina Regatta 2016. The DBS MR is an annual event organized by DBS and its sponsors. This year, there are many fringe activities on site, which includes the tallest inflatable water slide, urban beaches, food stalls, souvenir stands, live performances right here at the bay.
Our Paddlers are all warmed up and ready to start the day fresh with the 12 men crew 200 metre race:
The heats were clocked at an impressive 56 seconds! Well done team! Though we did not make it through the semi's, the timing clocked for both heats and semis were fantastic and a big improvement from last year regatta! Its time for a well deserved rest and relaxation as we prepare for the 500m race category in June!
Big thanks to:
Eugene Tan for managing the team and keeping the spirits up
Oz Titus Hong for coaching and motivating the team
Jiahui (Captain) for keeping the team together and motivated
and other paddlers who have helped in one way or another!
Stay tuned for Day 2!
We have a couple of videos for your viewing pleasure.
