apologisation - is there such a word anyway.

2007-07-24T22:19:00.000+08:00

i'd like to apologise to whoever reads this blog anyway for missing training the last few times.
but by the way, dont mistake Pon with Skip-with-excuse.
its not as if i want to skip right, i actually want to go and tire myself out rather than do some dumb projects.

humph.

cant be bothered to post up the photos. or maybe its the fact that my computer sucks and cant upload properly. training's going to start soon. busy week already. stupid unfinished homework.( + NCC )

ah well. i will try to post the photos. but it will be hard. meanwhile, waiting for training to resume. this time more hiong. humph.

dont be like wei jian though, who got faked by captain who said that there was training. and i think
he brought his PE. sigh.

and by the way YUNJUN if u see this, remember that there are people who needs the dragonboat shirts. haha. thats all.

humph.

2007 Nationals

2007-06-23T22:31:00.001+08:00

Judgement day has finally passed.

Our team managed to come in third during the heats with a timing of 3.07 and sixth during the finals with a timing of 3.15. (Please correct this if I made a mistake.)

Even though we didn't bring back any medals, you guys have done yourselves and the school proud by being the 6th best C div dragonboat team. Your words, not mine. =P

And since it's now over, don't harp on the past anymore. What's done is done; no use crying over spilt milk; and whatever other clichés which mean the same thing.

There are other upcoming competitions like the River Regatta and next year's races. If you guys have the determination, you guys will train hard to build up your physical fitness and stamina as well as find your optimum rhythm.

Don't push the blame to anyone. Dragonboating is a team sport; a collective effort. If something goes wrong, it's not one person's fault but the whole team's.

Hope you guys keep that in mind and become more united than before. How close you guys are will definitely have a direct effect on your performance. Get to know each other better and you'll do better.

So... First place for the River Regatta alright? =)

Danial

P.S. Someone should post up the photos and videos.

good good.

back from mc camp. woot. aiya. there were 2 trainings. the one on wednesday was sorta endurance training cause not full team was there. we did 6 sets of 5 mins and tried to maintain gliding speed with mam's good gadget the GPS.

ok. the LAST training. i was kinda nervous cuz i scared kena suaned =)
this was the training mam was supposed to choose between John, Ming Xuan and Aaron the slackers.
we were supposed to do 4 sets.
our record was 3.11 then.
carrying many of those sui sui nice paddles dunno for what. plus 2 dead weights who didnt row.
so the first set, we push and push.
TIMING : 3.01
and we had a rest of 10 mins.
everyone complain say i row too fast LOL.
so i said OK, i try to slow down and do longer pull.
2nd set - we go around the same method as 1st
, but i TRIED to do a longer pull.
TIMING : 2.59
weee haha.
then 3nd set and 4th set we did 3.03 and 3.03. were tired ma. mam rotated with MX and John who was on the boat rowing while the other on the land.
In the end, actually i dunno who is rowing. lol. all i know is that mam decided to put the [poor sick twin younger brother ( zhi hao ) who didnt come for training today cuz of some illness ] reserve.
i didnt like that. o well. i have no say lols
bryan ask me go buy banana. wth.Vice capt always get the sai-kang ( spelling error alert ) jobs to do lor. haha jkjk

haha today training was ( super tough as usual ) and quite funny. forget to bring plastic bag but liang jie brought 1 for me. and my psp hanged. its still hanging T.T

ok. today mam didnt come. G.W.S! =)
we had another coach, also from tp. she quite gd haha
did race sets at first. mam said to aim for 4.30mins and below.

1st set - 4.40.
we were kinda demoralised.
2nd set - 6 mins plus
ok, now we're damn sad.
then it was like around 11, yun han and wei jian had to go for their ncc sea camp. dumb camp -.-
i had to pace with 2nd row right-side twin.
after that, our third set, mam gave us smth to aim for : " guys, you must get 4.16min and below. if u all do that right, i'll cancel the third set. "
ok, thats our inspiration. but u see ah, it was almost like impossible for us since our prev set was damn bad, 6min plus.

anw, we went. i set chionging pace all for starts, and tried to maintain. muahahaha. guess how much we got.

3.59-

yeah well, its not so good but in nationals we have a better reward if we row properly. trophy =)
