The Piranhas celebrate their 2nd place finish in the 11km team standings at the MCC Chilly Wily

The Piranhas Dragon Boat Club sent fifteen runners to the Lakefront Promenade in Mississauga to participate in the 5th Annual Mississauga Canoe Club's Chilly Willy 11km and Half-Marathon. This was the first official competitive event of the young 2003-2004 season for the Piranhas, and the team did not disappoint. The team's second place finish in the 11 km Team Challenge standings was buoyed by the efforts of runners new to running long distances, let alone in sub-zero weather.

The event helped set into motion a guiding principle for this year's team, which is to reach previously unfathomable achievements by realistic goal setting and drawing upon the support and resources of one's teammates. And it was a great excuse to go for all-you-can-eat sushi and a trip to the New Balance store at Yonge and Eglinton after the race.
