Fueling your workouts isn’t just about having enough energy DURING exercise - it’s also about how you recover AFTER.

Whether you’re lifting, running, paddling, cycling, or playing sports, your body needs fuel to:
✔ Perform well
✔ Maintain strength and endurance
✔ Recover properly
✔ Rebuild muscle
✔ Support hydration and electrolyte balance
✔ Reduce injury risk
✔ Support hormones, metabolism, and immune function

One of the biggest misconceptions is that eating less will automatically improve body composition. But consistently under fueling while training hard can actually hurt recovery, performance, sleep, muscle retention, and long-term progress.

Signs you may not be fueling enough:
⚠️ Fatigue or low energy
⚠️ Poor recovery or excessive soreness
⚠️ Declining performance
⚠️ Dizziness or headaches
⚠️ Intense cravings
⚠️ Poor sleep
⚠️ Muscle cramps
⚠️ Feeling weak during workouts

Hydration matters too, especially in heat and humidity. Replacing fluids and electrolytes is part of recovery, not just something for during exercise.

Your post-workout nutrition helps:
🍽 Replenish glycogen (energy stores)
🍽 Repair muscle tissue
🍽 Restore hydration
🍽 Support your next workout

Training breaks the body down. Recovery nutrition helps build it back stronger.

Fuel smart. Hydrate well. Recover hard.

💧 DOING OUR PART 💧

Beginning June 8, Stage 3 water restrictions will be in effect across Metro Vancouver.

As part of FCRCC’s commitment to responsible water use, the dock hose will be removed and we will return to our water-saving boat washing process until restrictions are lifted.

🛶 Wash boats at the West Shed
🧽 Use the provided sponges and water buckets
💦 Use only the water needed to keep our boats clean and race-ready

It may take a few extra minutes, but small actions add up. As paddlers, we spend countless hours on the water and understand better than most the importance of protecting this valuable resource.

Thank you to all our members for helping us do our part while keeping our fleet in great condition throughout the season.

Dragon boat is more than a sport — it’s the power of moving as one. 🌊🐉✨

Signs that summer is on the way...there were a lot of short sleeves for practice last night! 😎

Would you look at that sunrise!! Yup...we were there for it. 🥱 Our final 2K team time trial this morning and what a beautiful day for it! The NEW Draco fleet produced many PB's!!! The Easter Bunny 🐰 even had treats waiting at the finish line. 🔥🎱😉

Last week some of our crew headed to Tempe, Arizona for a one week Right Angle Performance camp. And no, they were not paddling at night...with the unseasonably extreme hot temps 🥵, they paddled at 6AM!!! Thanks Kamini for another great camp!!
