Regatta’s over….

Women’s open was quite cui…keep getting backwash…1 stroke water high, nxt stroke water low, and the cycle keeps repeating….row until quite pek chek, coz keep cannot zua shui…budden those on the shore said the starts was quite gd, but lost out during maintanence….hmmmm….I felt it was a total screw up set…

Mixed was quite nice I felt, coz I managed to pull water better than during women’s open….but I felt the boat was very panicky…maybe coz its all junior guys….they were like shouting panicky during load up and charging…and there was no communication in the boat, except during the heats when everyone was calmer….

We got into mix plate finals which came as a shock to all of us....din even know it until they were launching for the race, so we went down without warming up…despite the still panic mode in the boat and the poor communication, I still felt rowing mix was much better than women’s open…am more conscious of my stroke, of stretching forward for pointer 3, of twisting, of forearm pulling, etc., but onli during mix….womens open is the total opposite…..sheesh, always liddat one…I gotta try to be able to pull water during women’s small boat, gotta try to be able to pull water when the water’s heavy…

Race over, new appointment holders chosen…congrats chuanz, ash & jane =)….time to build a new, stronger team…looking forward to penang….

But for now its time to battle the exams…7 days left onli!!! Time pls pls sloowww down….sooooooooo deaddd…..
