Was a great weekend well spent, now time to catch up on work :p

Did decently for C1 200m, will get faster and better (:

and dragonboat timetrial 20 crew boat today was thrilling. First time doing a 500m timetrial in a big boat and the best part is I haven't trained in it before. The starts were fast and furious, and aggression abounded. Halfway during the 500m set, my arms were no longer mine. It was very painful, but very thrilling (: Wished we had other boats to race against though, but there will be a chance soon.

So things are looking up, just keep to keep giving my best effort. All it takes is all I've got.

What if you believe?

T1 2x 2km timetrial ytd was a semi-disaster. Poor is the word. Yes I was sick, yes my left shoulder was cranky, yes I had no one to chase cos I started first.

But no excuses. Better work harder.

On a happier note, C1 this morning was nice. Kept up with the fastest of the nus t1 db girls for their set (was it 2'?) Haha, I do hope they don't mind me sneaking in to join them for some of their trg.

Still have a bit of time to shake leg now, but come tomorrow (or perhaps, even beginning this evening), it's going to be a mad rush until Monday.

Let's do this.

What if you believe?

Great start to the Year of the Snake!

Well, not quite, haha, woke up just in time for it's arrival cos my blisters were throbbing.

But this morning's run was nice, if a little painful towards the end. 25km in just under 3 hours including stopping awhile at red lights. 6.38am to 9.37am. So on track for sub 5 hour marathon! yay

Have to start clearing work today so I can play tomorrow (:

exciting

Today's program came up to ~16km. That's the furthest I've ever paddled in a dragonboat in one session! Of course there was a price to pay, some blisters, but worth it. this also means tomorrow's plans have changed! Long run here I come (:

trust

It's been about 5 weeks but it feels as if I've known these people for years (:

The year thus far has been very interesting in many ways. Finding more about the world out there, and at the same time, finding myself.
