First dragonboat training..We went down one by one, and then one of the girls step at the side of the boat,
and she drop into the water..
When I was going in, I was afraid that I would drop in.. haha
so I step in quick and bend down and hold the boat..
They said dominant hand at the top, so I thought I would need more strength on my left,
so I sat at the right, but, it was that the hand that holds the bottom needs more strength..
What I guess is around twenty minutes into it, my right hand muscles hurts,
and as its not my dominant hand, I didn't manage to catch up with the rest.. :x
Instructor asked me to change to the left side of the boat, so, luckily it's better.
After awhile, nurul asked to sit at the front, and kahhui and i moved to the last..
Sooo, while we rowed, water splash everywhere, my eyes, my body, especially the 50 in a row row..
I tried very hard to open my eyes while rowing, which is a torture as water splashes into my eyes.. our competition is a 500m race, and we tried it today, I missed a beat, :x I was tried..
I find myself the worst player in the team, but I shall not feel sad or whatsoever,
because, I can be better isn't it? YES. HUINING, YOU CAN DO IT! :D
I think I'm crazy, after we go on land, I want to go back to the waters again.. hahaha..
Didn't know that dragonboat can be so addictive..
While on the boat, we saw NTU guys row pass, they are so fast and steady and their 'A's were very uniform..
Mr Chew said the competition will be on the last Sunday of June @ marina barage ..
He also said that there are only 4 schools participating.. hmmm..
The girls that participated last year said that the currents at marine barage is stronger than that of bedok reservoir, jialat :x
I hope I'll be stronger by then and TPSS will win again! :D
takecare peeps,
