  Ok, this entry is a bit late, but i have been a bit busy.
  
  On 8th June, for the first time in my life, i took part in a Dragon Boat Race. It was a pretty big event in London, If I remembered correctly there were 44 teams racing altogether and about 20,000 people turn up!
  
  The "Team" I was in, had our first and last practice 4 days before the event, so we were never gonna win any medals, I volunteered to represent the chinese community centre, but i have a feeling a few of the others were forced into it by their boss.   I had a really good time, i must admit, i got a bit edgy and all competitive a few times, but over all it was just all a good laugh! Shame I won't be around this time next year to do it again!

  
  
  
  
  

  The only down side to the day was the timing for rowing and our Taekwondo demo clashed! I was only able to take part in 1 out of 3 demos. (and the fact that i had really badly sunburn on my shoulders)
  
  

  
  Not bad for a white belt hey?
