Once we start balancing well, we'll be great, I promise! I think I still have a lot to learn as a back rower, considering the fact that I've been either alone or in front most of the time when rowing. Now that I'm in K2, I really truly feel that my potential can be maximised. My build has never been suited for K1, as I don't have the height to get max. reach. I'm the only K1 rower who couldn't use the Raptor :( Too short for the config. Anyway, Xintian - today's training was great. I could feel us getting better and better with each set. Let this cumulative pattern continue all the way to Nats kays.
Looking back, I'll miss the times in K1. With Leepeng, Rach, Michelle. It was tumultuous, especially in December, when things just totally stunk, but now, we've all come so far. Huiying and Chiteng, thank you too for pushing us. If it's any saving grace, we have four ex-K1 rowers in K2 now, and I'm especially thankful for Rachel being in the same craft again. It'll take some time for me to get used to following Xintian's rotation, to get accustomed to the fact that there ain't gonna be a rudder to control, and it'll be very long for me to be able to get the mantra "CMON K1 GIRLS!" out of my mind, but yes, I am glad to have a partner. I have never ever been a good singles rower anyway.
Oh, went to Alexandra Hospital to see the DrChew again. I have
So sweet of you to take one of the purple shakers for me :)
