AeroDragons News
Monday, August 01, 2005
Thanks to everyone for your enthusiasm and hard work --- especially the "SuperWomen"who paddled 2 Women's heats, 2 REC heats, the PDBA Masters heat AND the AeroDragons Masters heat all in one day (Cassandra and Judy)!
The Competitive Team was able to win 2nd Place in its Division IIA Finals --- we were the ONLY local team in this heat against the Bay Area Dragons (BAD), Dragon Warriors, Dragon Max, Ripple Fast (all SFO), and TDBA Destiny (Tacoma).

FROM COACH DEE: AERO STRONG
I want to thank all of you for a great weekend. This TEAM TRULY REPRESENTS the word STRONG. You were patient, you were determined, you were confident and most of you were willing to step up to the battle without fear. At any given time we were 20 hearts pumping with one stroke, showing what a team really is.
AERO STRONG.
You should all commend yourselves for a job well done. WE practiced hard, especially with the resistance training and power sets. It only made us grow stronger, not only as individuals but as a group cheering each other on, bringing out that inner strength (your chi).
We not only stepped up to the next level, we leaped up to that level. We just have to look back at where we were last year to see the difference. NOW that we are here, we have to keep on stepping and get even stronger.
CONGRATULATIONS TEAM you make me proud to be a part of this team.
123 AERO STRONG .......GO AERO DRAGONS......PADDLES UP.
your coach Dee.

After the DIVIIA finish, while we were still on the water, a couple of teams pointed at us and asked --- "Hey, who are those guys?" --- So . . . we have piqued interest and are starting to make a name for ourselves outside of Long Beach. That means, for those of you AeroDragons signed up for San Francisco 8/27-8/28 . . .
