Trust me, it was not planned at all. I was biking along the river Danube in Budapest on a late afternoon in June when I ran into a friend whom I had not had much contact with in the previous months. After an hour of chitchatting, he mentioned some kind of a dragon boat festival in the Lágymányosi bay that he would participate in the following day. I was curious to see him paddle so despite the gloomy, discouraging weather I did go to check out the race. Love for the first sight? It was, indeed. I could hardly wait to satisfy my ferocious desire to jump into this humble boat and try out the rhythmic movements. Yet, it took three days before I actually showed up for a practice and decided that I would regularly attend the trainings. The crew is fantastic, my coach, Péter is a strict and determined, yet funny man who makes sure that we gain the most out of every single occasion we meet for a two, two and a half-hour session. I am simply loving every minute of this sport and my mind has never been so untroubled as it is while on water. Not only have I become stronger physically but I have also improved a lot mentally. That is why I have decided to keep track of this complex improvement of mine and share my experiences. This blog is a record but I am hoping that it will eventually reach way beyond that.
Gogogogogo :)
