Pittsburgh Paddlefish
Dragon Boat Team for TRRA
Teamwork. Camaraderie. Power.
We're a diverse group of paddlers training on the water from Apr-Nov and indoors through the winter. We compete locally, nationally, and internationally. Join us! All you need is a willingness to work up some sweat, get a little wet, and have a lot of fun!

Happy Christmas!
To all Paddlefish and all of our friends.
Hope you're having a wonderful holiday season and a well-earned couple of days' break from those erg and core work-outs (but no skimping on the Kettle Bells!)
Merry Christmas!

some lovely pics of the Allegheny...
...in this SlideShow. Some of rowers, although none showing the dragon boat - but still, it's pretty.
Take a gander :)

bidragonathlon :)
This Saturday we had a record number of dragon boaters compete at the Central Catholic Biathlon - 11 in total, including 6 Paddlefish and 5 friends from Steel City Dragons (the Paddlefish were Mina, Ada, Marie, Carolyn, Rachel & Jonathan - with a special shout-out to Sophie Jan, who trained with the rest of us, but was cruelly kept away by work...)
Particular kudos to all of those who were doing it for the first time - everyone was amazing and looked strong throughout.
I think I even heard a couple of the girls yell "Peeeeeenaaaaaaaannnnnngggg"
as they crossed the finish line ;)
and Ada received the compliment of the day from a college sophomore: "I hope I'm just like you when I'm your age!" (hence the 'Ada Shuffle' dance that followed ~~>)
