Its been a few days after Sava Sprint race, only now i got the mood and time to update. For the past few days, i was just relaxing at home and rest, went for dental appointment too. The last appointment was like 2months ago, suppose to have 2 appointments in 2 months, but i cancelled them due to training. A day after the tightening, its still tight on my teeth now. And i got to wear a rubber band on my teeth, order by my beautiful dentist. hahaaa.. Abit uneasy, but will get use to it soon.

Now let me say about my race. On sunday, i reached sch at about 8am, and suppose to leave sch at 830. but the bus driver was late and was delayed, we only left sch at about 9+. The gals team were told to wear their life vest and get ready to rush to the venue, as they were told their race will be held soon. They alight from the bus and rush there, while we took their bags and walk slowly for our destination. It was jus a rush, when we reached there, the gals were warming-up. We settle down, did some warm-ups and light run. Think all of us were quite nervous. When its our turn, we got our moral up and off we go. Our very first race began in quite a good start. Although we got last for the first race, but we had done a great job, our timing was 52seconds. Our rivals for was strong, such a team PMC, national team. Our senior team manage to get a slot in the semi-final, as they got first in their race. Waiting for our repecharge race to be called, we head to TP toilet to do business. Soon our next race was called, and all juniors head down again for our second race. Our rivals were strong too, but we only wanna beat one team which is ngee ann poly. Their team were suppose to be a junior team but they input 5 pairs of seniors inside. Race began, we gave a very good starts. Overall for the second race, i felt a much better feel, but timing was 53seconds, 1 second behind our first race. We was last for the 2nd race but in the end, ngee ann poly was given a 2second penalty for which i think was one of their rower scolded "CB" loudly just before the race start. How did the "CB" came about? Just before the race gonna starts, ngee ann boat shouted "ngee ann lai ah!". Seconds later i shouted "Nanyang Lai Ah!". And then, tat word "CB" came out loud and clear. And yeah, we beat them for 1 second according to the time. Woot! Im extremely happy when i saw the results. For the entire sava sprint, our NYP dragonboat won a medal, first place from minor plate, our senior got them. Well Done! After this race experiences, and after getting last place for the race, we gotta work extremely hard for our next race, river regatta 2009. Im gonna train damn hard, gym damn hard and try to make it into boat A. Jia You Louis!!
