Finally the camp was over. Now just reach home, feeling very tired. Have been training for the pass few days with my Dragon Boat Team.
During Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning, we have been starting with our training at 5.30am, running for about 2 hours. Then doing set on stations. Having breakfast together. Playing team bonding games. Having lunch together. Rowing at Bedok Reservoir/Pool. Having dinner together. Chatting to one another. Sleeping at the same time.
Knowing that a Dragon Boat won't move easily with one person. It take up a group of people which is the team. Inside the team, everyone should not scold/blame one another. Treat your team member like your brothers and sisters.
Yesterday was the Dragon Boat SAVA Rcae 2006. My school went there for race. The first thing that start was the race for Community Centre. I am in for North CC. At first I was thinking of making the race as a warming up 200m, don't really put in power. But end up we got first without feeling tired. Amazing...then after that was my school racing with other team. During the men's open, I really put in power and row, I think other team was rather strong. But at least we wasn't the last, can go into the semi-final.
Then as for today, the 500m race. Wow really long way to go. But the first that start for me was the race for Community Centre. We got first for the final. But me myself, I don't think it was a big deal. Cause winning other team that have girls/uncle compare to the boat I am in with all youth, don't really make me feel I am success. Having the medal really encourage me to work even harder. Soon I went for the race with my school team a 500m race. We got 3rd out of 6 team. Can't go for the semi-final straight away, still got to go for one extra race before the semi-final. But things just happen at anytime, they said they don't have enough time for the extra race. So we are out. Left only girls team and mix team fighting. But I am sure we really tried our best and will work hard for the next race. Camp will start tomorrow. It will be hard, but we will go through it together.
Just right after Dragon Boat training, I accompany my friends to watch the movie "Little Man". The show was funny after all. Soon we went to "Ben & Jerry's" and eat ice cream. Emm.....it taste so good.
