WHO’S IN THE BOAT? 🐉

This week, meet Mary Jo—fiery, funny and proudly Canadian. Happiest in 10 L, she brings plenty of energy to the boat and has spent years keeping Busting Out Ottawa paddlers moving through her fitness classes.

Good old-fashioned ’80s cardio, a soundtrack to match and a well-made latte. Get to know the woman behind “Marie-Jo, stay on your blade!” 🤭💪☕️🇨🇦

Seeing ourselves like this still leaves us in awe.

Here for what comes next. ❤️🐉

WHO’S IN THE BOAT? 🐉

You’ve seen us paddle together. Now meet the women in the boat.

Welcome to Friday Five—five questions, one crew member, a few things you might not expect.

This week: Sandra. Four years with ODM Senior C Women and a longtime Busting Out Ottawa paddler, she loves her 6 a.m. starts, listens to Colin James and knows her way around a machine shop. As for those famous faces she’s met… 🤭🛠️

Get to know Sandra!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🍂🐉

We’re grateful for the friendships that grew across our crews in Taiwan, and for everyone at home who helped us get there.

For the memories we get to carry into our everyday lives, and the joy of doing extraordinary things together. (Laughing counts as an extra core workout.) 🤭

Happy Thanksgiving to our paddling community, families and friends. You’re all part of it, and we’re so glad you are! 🐉🍂❤️

WHAT’S NEXT? 🐉☕️

Thank you for following us across the world, cheering us on and sending such encouraging messages.

Coming home with three bronze medals was something we were proud to share with you.

With winter ahead we’ll miss the sunrise over the river, the fresh air and familiar faces arriving at the dock (some of us more awake than others). 🤭☕️

We love our sport, but there will be days when we’d rather stay cozy at home than hit the gym on a cold day.

So what will keep us reaching for more?

The satisfaction of getting stronger. The trust we build by putting in the work together, knowing we can count on each other when it matters.

Our next racing goals:
🐉 Nationals, 2027
🌎 Worlds in Barcelona, 2028

Between here and there are ordinary weeks filled with work, family, appointments, groceries—and training tucked into the mix. There’s fundraising too, and plenty to do together beyond the boat.

We are paddlers of a certain age, with full lives and more we want to do.

We haven’t finished finding out what we’re capable of, and we hope you’ll keep following our story.

Put the coffee on!

☕️🐉✨🌎❤️

Today, Ottawa Dragon Masters pauses to honour the children who never returned home, the Survivors of residential schools, their families and their communities.

We listen. We remember. 🧡

Every Child Matters.

THERE IS ALWAYS A FIRST PRACTICE 🐲📸✍️

“We were all new once. Someone made room for us.”

This is Senior C. We don’t arrive here with an athletic lifetime stretching ahead of us.

Some of us have decades of paddling behind us. Someone else may be holding a paddle for the first time.

At our age, potential isn’t something spoken about in the past tense. Neither is adventure.

There’s no expiry date on becoming stronger, faster, more skilled—or on belonging to something extraordinary.

There is still so much ahead of us.

There is still so much to become—and so much left to experience.

Two years from now, our destination is Spain. But between here and there are 6 a.m. mornings, overnight oats eaten half awake, lifting heavier, testing, races won and lost, new paddlers gradually becoming teammates—and taking approximately eleven billion photos. 📸😂

And this time, something rookie Lindy didn’t know at the beginning of the last cycle: what all those ordinary practices can eventually add up to.

Adventure awaits 🐲🌊🌸💪
