weekend

went to oktoberfest in huntington beach ended up too drunk... forgot how i got home, can't even remember the freeways i took on my way home.. woke up early on sunday morning for practice... but i'm kinda dehydrated from alcohol consumption and the bad thing is I was stroking for the boat which ended up pretty messy...i almost lost my paddle cause i was throwing it in the wate while the boat is moving.... went to lunch which ended up to be too pricey... the played some badminton where I broke my racquet so i have to buy a new one... total cost from my weekend? it's kinda close to my trip to SF

SF race

Just got back from SF cause we participated in the Kaiser Permanente Dragon Boat Festival….the drive is pretty tough since we are carrying other equipments too… but the whole festival was fun on our first day it was just all seeding and qualifying for the division which turned out pretty interesting since we finished two first and a second for our men’s boat which qualifies us for the next day race and not only that we got the 2nd best time of the day… Sunday didn’t turn out pretty well since we didn’t win the men’s boat, but we won third on the out of town race and we had a couple more races which landed us at the final race of the day… in other words it’s the top 6 boats in the whole tournament… we got 5th place which means we still have to work on a lot of things but I didn’t know that it’s that big of a deal to be on that race until our coached talked about it and no wonder one of my team mate is so stoked about participating that race… apparently our team used to win a lot but in lower division and it was the first time they got to that level… after that race I still want to get at least third place but we have to wait for next year to achieve that goal which means more hardcore workouts which would start tomorrow at work…. Basically I spent my 2 days just at the race site then at night I stuffed myself with some good food but it costs hundreds and hundreds for my whole vacation…went up to Sonoma valley for a day just to do some wine tasting….i'm done... too tired from driving....
