had the first ever fun training since joining canoeing.
our crazy jiaolian made us leapfrog over the whole team "to train abs".
and this was level one only.
still got leapfrog over 3 people at once.
but it was fun.
have been having breakthroughs in canoeing (:
first 2k timing--> 16++
second 2k timing --> 14:56
third 2k timing (today)--> 13++
however..
the hwachong tiger stripes nelo dude, with 5 years experience, did 11:45!
means one thing:
TRAIN.
all photos are sihui's!
had been training three weeks for the Aljunied GRC Dragonboat Competition, on 8th November.
at bedok reservoir, so i had to wake at like 5.30 to reach there by 7.15.
but i still only reached there at like 8 -.-" lousy bus service!
register, change and became bored.
then everyone started stoning the stone.
the stoned stone. okay, its a brick.
took a super lot of pictures, then went for the race.
drank the BLUE and SILVER REDBULL [from austria i think] and it made a few of us go QUEASY.
yuck, super sweet luh.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
completed 250m within 1:08. but we didnt even burst at the last part, cause we didnt hear the coxswain guy shout CHARGE.
-.- so we long pull-ed to the end, losing by six seconds i think.
but we, 3 weeks old paddlers with cheap cheap paddles managed to beat other teams, with experienced rowers and expensive paddles.
yeah!
second!
and this is considering we were the youngest youth team.
youth, in the aljunied grc dictionary, refers to those under 35.
yeah, and the first team was full of angmohs in the twenties, with arms larger than thighs.
so we got silver. tested and tasted, not chocolate. (:
the team! (:
looking forward to future dragonboat races!
