SAVA SPRINTS DAY 2

DAY 2
200m races.
Mens & mixed Plate champions.

of all my 3 years in sava sprints, i felt that i ended my last one the best. Plate champions for mens and mixed 500m and 200m races, is not a very big achievement but i guess it would at least count for something uh.. (pictures will be uploaded later.)

sadly, not Aaron did not take part in the races.(cause he broke his leg,remember?)
(he missed his first year, and missed his third year)

with SAVA over, im only left with one main event for SPdragonboat team as captain. River Regatta would be the end of my term and hopefully all will go well.

hopefully.

but today doesnt seem very hopeful itself.
Back to training, the senior team, more improvements, more faces,however we still face the problem of a shortage of left rowers, and is really disappointing that they all have thier sets of problems that they cant come down.

Dom-sore eyes
Wei siong-he's mum don let him come out.(some of them said he suffered a stroke)
Ras - couldnt wake up

even so with valid reasons,my team is being shorthanded by thier abscence. if this were to happen during race day, im going to have less left paddlers.which mean i cannot even compete on equal level terms with the other polytechnics.

for those regularly coming down for training, do not lose hope in the team. as promised i will try my best to find adaquate replacement to settle our problems. :)

juniors did well, in at least hitting into a plate final which was impossible for us during my first year.( we couldnt even make it past the heats). with sufficient training,the right attitude and a close bond between them, im very sure they can go very far.

train,train,keep training and train.

Paddle.
1 x 1000m time trial result: 5.24 (fucking slow)
