Starting where I left off, the dragon boats were coming back down the ice, each team looking to advance to the next round.

  17. I wonder if any of the teams do better on ice than on water.

    1. Possibly. Of course the added hazard with this is that the dragonboats have a tendency to slide over to the side on ice, which wrecks momentum and pretty much puts you out of the race.
