and so, the races are over, the breaks are here. just a little recap on what happened over the weekend.
the 20 men's crew got eliminated during the heats. we could've got into the semi's but were a little unlucky on the timing. we fall short of the milli-seconds. but hey, we were up against big teams in the heats like ntu, mountbatten csc where most of their rowers are national rowers.
however, the 20 mixed crew did pretty well in the heats and advanced into semi's. in which, we moved on into the plate's finals and clinch the plate's finals champion. and as for the 10 men crew, we did get into the semi's. but we lost in the semi's at 4th position because the races in both our mixed crew and 10 men crew were back to back races.
it's really an experience for me in this regatta. our heats, semi's and plate's finals were up against many big teams. canadian dragons, ngee ann, ntu, sim, nus, rp etc etc. but the team manage to sustain the competition. we don't see them as threats. instead, we are their threats. not forgetting the fact that a handful of us were rookies paddlers. but we manage to stand strong, fight hard, and get what we want in this regatta.
tho not many silverwares this time round, this race have made many SPCers see for themselves that we've taken a step further in our progress. from sava, to regatta. a fair margin of improvement. but however, we must strive to improve more.
ngee ann was very impressive in this regatta. their performance is fantastic, clinching men's national champion and as well as IVP champions. it was a good show, and definately an honour to be able to race alongside with them.
many dramas in this regatta. fierce competition. clashes. capsizing.
looking back, i've laid down uncountable sacrifices for this sport. but i've also taken alot out of it. of the times i wished i had more time for myself, today, i felt it's all worth me giving up many of my free time to commit to the many training sessions per week. i've made many good friends, i've understood the power of teamwork. it has taught me that with the correct state of mind, we can achieve things we never thought we can in our lifetime. i've see many different individual hearts coming together to train. but when we're in the boat rowing, i see not many hearts. but one big heart and soul, on passionate fire, to train together as a team. the motivations, the scoldings, the pain, the joy. it was all worth it. =))
i hate to face the fact that this might be my last race. hopefully, i'm able to make it for MR500 on the coming march, before i enlist for ns.
but anyway, here's a pic of me taken during lecture. was kinda bored with friends and so we started taking pics. i didn't know i have such sexxxxxxxeeeeeeeyyyyy legs. hahas.
