Racing always seem to cure any lack of motivation or declining interest in me. Although I didn't compete in much events, racing over the weekend definitely made my heart racing. The yearning to train, the desire to do well, the need for pain all came rushing back. The results don't matter. As I always tell the girls, as long as we did the best that we could in that situation, it's good enough. And it was. Huiwen and I can proclaim proudly that we did the very best we could have done in ncc 07. Our lack of training was our vice, but that wasn't an excuse we were about to make. We lost to worthy opponents.
me and huiwen. amazing how we can actually race together.
I should think I have the right to remain positive. Despite our lack of training, we weren't lagging behind as far as I thought we would. Both of us were sure we would only get to race in one race per event but we got extra! Semis for k2 1000m, finals for k2 500m. I would have preferred to get into the finals for k2 1000m but we did our best. Debbie and lyanna were still a little ahead for us. Perhaps a shoot at the end would have been good but oh well. At least my so-called strategy of coming in first for 500m heats didn't back-fire on me. It didn't seem funny then but thinking back, huiwen and I arguing over whether to have our ending burst for 500m heats during our race, and yihang and rimmel shouting at us to shuddup was hilarious. All I wanted was not to come in 2nd for heats so as to get into a 'better' semis to get into finals. Hahaha.
I'm really proud of ky though. She was so close to yh and andrea. Of course andrea wouldn't allow her to overtake but it was close enough. And what a great timing for 250m - 1:04. Woohoo. A perfect way to end her jc canoeing chapter.
me and ky! trying out k2 for fun! hahah..
Anti-climax now but auntie's bday was yesterday so happy bday to her! flowers for her! hahahah...
