I guess unforseen circumstances CAN happen. Who would ever imagine that after training for so long, you go down into the race, only to get something caught in your bow and pull resistance for half the race?! Bloody 500m finals. I swear, I was gonna cry when that stupid thing (up till now, I don't know what it was) started making water frothing up the front of the boat, and me and Leepeng pulling our eyes out but the boat NOT MOVING. It was infuriating, especially seeing people we beat in the semis waaaay in front of us cos of a stupid whatchamacallit stuck in our boat. PAH!!
Other than that, if Yong had allowed us to whack our other event, we could have taken the NUS boat as well. Leepenggggg my beloved bimbo. I think after this race we've certainly become stronger :) I can see that our takeoff improved a ton, and we really really learnt a lot! Thanks for the fantastic maiden voyage in a K2! Looking forward to many many more tough trainings to come :)
Oohyeah, thank you to Weejin, Wong, Chew, Mo, Malcolm, Thong, Huiming, Jason, Benjamin, Vin, Sean for coming down to help out and for all your support. There, I have shown my appreciation!
