post regatta
regatta is finally over. so many months of training all for these 2 days. we din win anything. but i think all of us won something within. it was the time to let everyone experience the hunger for winning. i am sure all the juniors and seniors alike now can feel it. but will we work towards it to quench our thirst? or will we just think about it and not take any action? well, i believe we have 6 months ahead of us to show and prove it. who means it and who doesnt. it is gonna be damn obvious.
ladies we did all we could. i am not sure about EVERY SINGLE LADY. but i shall give everyone the benefit of the doubt and assume we all put in our all. only managed to go down for the opens races. the 2nd day was intense. the feeling that you get when u know the team relies on that one single race to proceed or wither the afternoon away. it just felt terrible when i see my fellow gals not being able to proceed and row for the day. i really really badly want to win it for them. the gals on shore. so that they can get their chance to row. i mean the few of us really tried our best and pulled. but still. things wun always happen the way you want it to. we learn from the races. and i seriously hope we can take in the experience. we learnt it the hard way. but we are all gona learn it by hard man.somehow, tears just fought its way down the cheeks of so many of our ladies and teammates. it shows how much they care. how much they want it. its just painful. guys felt the pain too. its really heart wrenching when u see ur teammates so sad. and we cant even do anything to alleviate it.
2 days of intense emotions and action. and its over so quickly. june race seem to be our next battle city.
on a lighter note, this year's regatta has got exciting events! one boat capsized! and a dragonhead fell off! and bumping accident of rowers! wow!
ps. hope you are getting on well. we'll remember you. for the short happiness you brought into our lives.
