Dragon Boat at Bedok Reservoir

Finally after so long, I get the chance to try out Kayaking and Dragon Boat. This was organised by CARC and since we managed to form a team of our own, thanks to Sheryl who Clenched her fist "asking" if we are interested.

CARC only booked 2 practice boat and we have to take turns to row it. Thanks to the "forever late" team, we get to start last.
But we were given a little compensation, we get to do Kayaking first while waiting.

I never knew Kayaking could be so tiring. The way i sat with my legs straighten stresses my thighs. Just a few rounds and i could feel the strain on my tummy and my legs.

We were having so much fun or should we say lazy? We just join all 4 boats together and let it drift...

Our turn came finally, but then we were only given 15mins, think we spend too much time kayaking...

Overall, it's really fun!! But We concur that this isn't the sports for us! Its too tiring!
