Dragon Boat Festival

So we've been meaning to upload some pictures from the Dragon Boat Festival back in September. The Festival took place on Treasure Island in the San Francisco Bay and my Firm, KPMG, was one of the sponsors. Leading up to the Festival, we participated in three physically intense practices. Paddling is quite the workout. On race day, our team raced in three 300-meter heats. Below is a picture from one of the heats. You can tell from the photo that our starts got us pretty far ahead (you can see the dragon head of the boat right behind us). Can you find Celeste and me in the photo? We'll give you a hint -- we're both on the near side of the boat (click on the picture for a larger view).



Dragon Boat racing is a very team-driven event. Everybody must paddle in unison in order to get the most power and speed. We had a lot of fun team-building with other people from KPMG.
