Dragon Boat

According to legend, the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates the attempt to rescue the Chinese national poet Qu Yuan to more than 2000 years, from drowning. But then he drowned and perhaps the festival was a bit sad.
since 1976 reflects the Dragon Boat Festival in Hong Kong and became the modern competitive sport.

The dragon boat is a paddle boat, which mimics the stylized form of a dragon with a dragon head and tail. First you set with the forward-looking paddle water, making the whole boat is something out of the water. Then they pull the paddle with the whole body backwards, the arms are nearly rigid, the feet pushing against the boat and the upper body rotates to the back.

The synchronization of all paddlers is essential so that the tunneling is done while the boat is something emerges from the water. If a drummer in the boat (especially in training), type the foremost paddler in front of the firing rhythm. Faster impact rates are generally technically demanding, yet more force can be transmitted.

I'm in a 10 boat with my colleagues and we row a 300m sprint.



Our company team also adopted the first dragon boat races over the 300m and 800m distances.



below the closing image, my boat (No. 4) No. 5 could not catch up more in spite of very high score.
