Sorry for the emotional overload in the last post...Well, 3rd place. I don't know whether to be upset or not because I felt it was a race where there were many many minor glitches which eventually resulted in us throwing the race lead away. There wasn't time to warm up and I neglected that - doing a 5-40 takeoff, resulting in me dying at MARINA. Gah. Ironically, during training we were the best K2 in terms of portage, even better than Sofia and Yihui, but during the race it was the portage that killed us. Nevertheless, screw ups or not, we rowed our best, truly whacked, and I can say that Lina and I are glad to have emerged stronger after this race.
Very proud of the girls team. Every one of us got top 3 positions regardless of craft. I'm glad that the people who beat us were from our team :):) It's promising, but not really the time to be complacent, cos this is just the beginning *beams.
Sigh. Liverpool lost the Merseyside Derby 1-0. Really, when I thought Benitez was doing a great job with his subs, he takes wonderman Xabi Alonso out of the starting XI and replaces him with Salif Diao. Ohforgoodnesssakes. I supposed he must have his tactical reasons for starting Diao ahead of Alonso but whatever strategy he was playing, it failed big time. Traore, Josemi, Kewell too were big flops. I thought the major disaster was KIRKLAND. *Grr. He was the one who was to blame for the goal. I want Dudek back. Sighh.
