havent posted 4 such a long time.. been either much too busy.. or juz nuthin to post abt.. but today was quite interesting.. national kayaking marathon.. 28.8 km.. woo hoo.. lolz..
reached seletar reservoir arnd 640 today.. den went arnd with WQ, brian, and cheng to try and look 4 a toilet.. though it was to no avail.. after tht.. slacked arnd 4 a while.. prepared the boat 4 compe.. den went down to test out the waters with samuel.. and as usual.. i was stupid enuff to pull a stunt.. 4got to wear PFD b4 going into water.. tio kan frm lex.. lolz..
after tht.. started marathon arnd 8 or 9... the Ks(kayaks) were really damn fast.. unbelievable.. had a gd start.. although we kinda lost it like 500m due to banging.. after tht... samuel was dragging my lazy ass for abt the whole 3 rnds.. cuz my body was so stupidly used to sprinting style tht i was burstin all the way through out the 1st lap.. could only paddle well on the left side when we were against the waves... killed my self after abt 3/4 of the 1st rnd.. thnkfullly recovered well enuff to speed up during last lap and covered some ground... the current was very strong.. kept pushing my boat to the sides.. very hard to control.. and the waves were relatively strong too.. didnt expect it to be so in a reservoir.. had to bail for abt 2 times through out the race.. wat a waste..serious miscalculation.. though didnt manage to achieve a medal.. but hey.. we tried our best, sam and i.. so nt really super disappointed.. more trngs!!!
congrats to WQ, dennis and junsheng... WQ and JS got 3rd and 2nd respectively in senior men T1 while dennis got 4th in junior men T1.. well done to them.. to the rest.. dun be disappointed cuz we all did our best.. even though we didnt acheive fantastic results due to our miscalculations.. we did fairly well liao.. all the best to us in the nxt race.. surely can liao dis time.. :)..
