The last practice for the Mayor's team racing in the 2008 DC Dragon Boat Festival proved that the team is in good shape. The team practiced on the Anacostia before the race on the Potomac next week.

Aside from the 20 rowers, each dragon boat will carry a traditional chinese drummer who will help the rowers keep pace. Boats will race in heats of 4 to 5 along 250 and 500 meter courses between the Kennedy Center and Thompson Boat Center.
