We entered the 2010 season with a new crew that only had half a season's experience from 2009. Having never done dragon boating before the coaches had a tough job of training this new team all through the winter and up to BDA Premier League standards.
The team started the season strong, full of promise, and we were consistently in the top spots for the 200m category. This consistency paid dividend when Raging Dragons ended the 2010 season placed 2nd in the 200m, the best result in all of Rage's relatively little history!
Rage 2010 is officially done and dusted, bring on Rage 2011! For those of you who do not watch Formula 1 there is a team called Red Bull, and after comparing Raging Dragon with Red Bull I noticed we have a lot in common despite the sports are many worlds apart! Red Bull have been around for 6 years (very little in F1 terms), and every year they have got stronger, faster and better! And finally this year for the first time they won both the Constructors and Drivers Championships, and in the process defeating the big boys at Mclaren and Ferrari! And the reason they won is simple - they kept believing, they kept fighting, the kept improving, they never stopped, and there's the similarity! Rage too is young team in BDA terms, and we have gone from strength to strength over the years and our achievements have not gone unnoticed in the BDA.
Lets keep believing, train hard, race hard, play hard, but most importantly lets do it together! We train together, we race together and we win together!
