Our times in the 500m were decent, but they were slower than our performances in the 2012 Boston Dragon Boat Festival just two weeks earlier, where we turned in heat times of 2:34.076 and 2:34.255 (Average = 2:34.166), and a 2:36.946 in the Division A Final. So we can definitely do better, and we'll work to improve as the season continues. Harvard Dudley primarily races 500m distances, so we don't really have PR comparisons for the 200m and the 2000m races. Given our preparation for Jiaxing, I don't think the results surprise us very much, though the times will certainly be markers for us to aim for and knock down as we continue to compete and get better.
ICDBF's Amazing Photos!
The ICDBF has the most breath-taking collection of photos on its Facebook page. They really put my pictures to shame and paint a much more complete picture of the intense levels of competition, excitement, and fun had by all throughout the weekend's races. Please check out the page and the albums!
