Wordification

Rowing in the morning was pretty good. The water was slightly calmer for some parts of the training.

Tested out Reppaden and Kuzuraisen against Sensei and Kenny.

Reppaden seemed to be quite useful, since I can push for almost 40% of the 500 meter race, so I can catch up to sensei after he pulls away. Drawback is its too slow... so I'll be counting on catching up.

Kuzuraisen on the other hand is almost on par with his starting burst. However, it can't last for as long.

So now I can either try to:

Issen-Reppaden start, and hope to catch up.

or

Issen-Kuzuraisen start, and hope to not die out.

or I'm thinking of trying something really insane and

Issen-Kuzuraisen-Reppaden start.

Which is totally insane, but it may just work to cut my timing down by alot if I can focus on relaxing myself for as much as possible during Reppaden.

Shall try it out this week.


Quite shacked, went for the dragonboating outing to sentosa.

Jo is scary... she made so much food. Ahhh and the steamed chicken breasts was damn good although looked abit scary XD.

Ben's sushi rocked. Although kenah the wasabi booby-trapped sushi. Damn sway.... the inside of my nose suddenly became damn hot and that hot sensation...

Za's beehoon rocked too. Should've opened up both tubs tho... and Louis' green tea was finished damn fast.... only left coke and pepsi after awhile, argh sugar.

And seeing the amount of food jo brought made me worry if the group could finish it... so I didn't get the fruits afterall....

I guess we had alot of fun, traumatizing palawan's floating pontoons too haha. Even got the guys to hand row and go in circles hahaha.

Ok tired, sleepy time.

I got fished.

Idiotic uncle fisherman cast his line out so far out yesterday evening. All the way out to lane 3! Moron! Then he can still yell and kao peh at me some more! You lucky I was in a peaceful state and one with the universe  yesterday or else I would go over pick you up and toss you down into kallang basin.

Irritating......

 

This morning's timing slightly better... 2:18mins. Almost there.... comon comon... 8 seconds less! Maintenance is crap I think. Other than that Issen to Reppaden transition is good, and I can maintain reppaden for 40 cycles at the start, and activate again at the end.

Only thing is maintanence... and breathing... need to control.

8 days and counting.

Ganbate, Reu!

Thursday, July 29, 2004

Was working damn super fast today, or as Paul would say, I was working in GOD MODE hahaha.

Finished up the feature demo and ammended the sony website.

Then could rush down early for training hooray!

Omigod, on the way to training I reached into my bag to get my wallet and noticed its wet... then I thought yesterday's wet clothes were still in there but to my horror it was white and pastey.

Turns out I had accidentally sat on my bag earlier and exploded my carton of low sugar nutrisoy (Which rocks btw, I'm never buying normal nutrisoy again). Unluckily, it was yesterday's nutrisoy, and when they tell you to keep it refridgerated, they aren't kidding. half of it was nutri soya bean curd, and all of it smelt like wet hamster.

Luckily for me there was only 1/8 a carton left when it exploded.

So yeah, tahan the damn smell until reached school then washed my jersey and shorts with soap... 2 times.

Training was argh. Ben really pushed up the running towards the end doh. Then 90 pushups... maybe it was the damned circuit yesterday but almost couldn't tahan the 90. I love situps, so damned easy.

Pullups were ok... jonny said got some slackers behind skipping sets. wth? Why got such thing happening?

Pool rowing was pretty good. Guy's reponse is good, although timing still very cok up at times. Ben saved my voice and lent me his whistle for the single stroking drills. Its damn loud ah, almost deafened myself. I wonder if anyone has gone deaf from blowing a whistle too loud before?

Upon retrospect, I believe I was blowing the whistle upside down.... perhaps that is why it was so loud.

Went to eat. Hrm..... Siva so fast kenah knee ligament problem, darren getting runners knee, daryl kenah ligament problem, damn worrying loh.

Tired, I don't think I'll row tomorrow morning. Going to get a proper almost 8 hours rest. But in the evening Cougar and I will rock the basin.

Tuesday, July 27, 2004

Happy!

Water training in the morning was fun. Getting the hang of the stroke and working to perfect reppaden.

Did one set.... 2:20mins.... not my personal best... and gotta cut 10 seconds. Common! 1.5 weeks left!

Relaxed at work, then stressed out when the new project came in argh.

Then went to school and did circuits with melvin and yixue. 3 sets of 12 pullups, then weights circuits.

I prefer when the weights room was outside the sports hall... now that its beside the clubroom, anyone who comes out of the toilet or comes down from the track is so curious...

Got 2 wolf whistles a few "wahs" and other horrified remarks during running to weights transitions for weights circuits. Ok, it amuses me somewhat lah hahaha.

I've never busted my lungs out so many times in a self training session before. Fighting spirit is raising. I'm going to charge my arms out for nationals.

Monday, July 26, 2004

Well I must have been an idiot if I thought that this was going to be easy.

If I give up now than I might as well give up on the race.

I WILL make at least a 2:10mins timing in cougar even if I faint at the end of the lap.

 

Managed to go down to kallang and row abit before Sadu closed SDBA today. All I can say is... my head was too clouded for the past few training sessions. And what Ben told us about learning C but forgetting A and B made alot of sense.

All this time I've tried to master each aspect of the stroke individually, sometimes forgetting the other aspects. The last step was worked on last week. Now all I have to do is combine everything.

Perpendicular entry, upper arm following down, stretch forward, pull close to boat, kick hard, lat and torso twist.

I didn't manage to hit my goal today, 2:25 and 2:35. Was rushing through everything.... tomorrow I shall feel the pull more.

I am a master of analysis and impromptu strategies. No more am I going to blindly row like an idiot. Today I have christened my two techniques; one which I have only managed to do one time before and completely trashed the K2 with, the other based on a mental image of sensei's new stroke.

"Reppagen" and "Kuzuraisen".

These will be my trump cards in the race.

Thing is, right now I can only fit in 2 Reppagen in one 500 metre race before completely dying, and the recovery time is too long.

And Kuzuraisen isn't effective if I don't stretch forward an extra 10%.

2 weeks.

I will do this.

Sunday, July 25, 2004

Tired.

Stupid kallang water.

Sensei said my right arm rowing well but left arm cok up.

wtf? stupid left arm.

First DB training today. There go my plans on getting fairer. I resign to my fate to be one of the darkness muhahahahaha. Screw the lightside. If I were a jedi I would pick a red crystal cuz its so cool and lightblue is for little boys....

Guys turnup was ok... hahaha cocked up one of ben's instructions again doh, but know I gotta stay super thick skinned although learn from mistakes.

The guys response is quite good in the boat. Shaneroh! Although timing like blargh every now and then.

Girls looked a little lost at start and end when Ben asked me to move and organize the juniors while the rest of the seniors rowed. I realize I'm a little lost as to how to handle the girls when Jo suddenly dissapears? hahahaha. Jialat... all of them got the O_O look, dunno how to yell at them also. Haiz....

Holding positions after canoeing is damn tiring ah.... shoulders burning during pause stroke drills...

Went to eat after that... mmmmmmmmmmmmm... teppanyaki and beef ball soup muhahahaha.

Then went to the arcade with the guys while waiting to watch I,robot... raped the cpu and accidentally Kenny... didn't know he was the one challenging me at the other side hahaha or would have gone easier. Abusing glitches with a large group is fun too.

Its quite difficult trying to keep such a big group together all the time... Melvin gave some problems at the bus stop also... its not that I wanted to walk so much further to the mrt station loh, its just that I wanted the group to stay together and not split up in buses.

haiz.


damn tired. got two episodes of naruto to watch woohoo!

Saturday, July 24, 2004

Damn bloody pissed.


Training so hard and my standard in the water is utter crap.

I couldn't even pull away from the nyjc boats just now? wtf.

And all the time spent training in the mornings when the water is always so bloody calm is useless on the weekends when sensei is around because the water is so damned choppy and bouncy and I cant feel or catch the damned water and he keeps suanning me.

Getting damned pissed off when I'm doing all that I can yet my speed in the water still isn't fast enough! I hate work! Sucking up all my bloody time, leaving me with only the calm watered mornings or evenings to train. And I cant even row in the evening cuz once the sun goes down and you cap no one will bloody know!

I'm screwed. The race is in two weeks.

Maybe it isn't possible for someone to catch up with 4 months in the k1. Maybe I'm not doing enough? Maybe I'm not resting enough? Maybe I suck.

Sensei said he was dissapointed in me today.

Can't say I feel indifferently.

Friday, July 23, 2004

Worried again.

Guys numbers dropping.

Luckily this was planned for.

 

Finished my work early and went home to work on sound effects for the flash movie so could go for training early!

Training went ok, the guys are responding pretty well.

Pool rowing went ok. Haha some guys like... in a perpetually lagged dimension.. 1-2 second lag then cannot follow timing haiz....

Wah, now training got vocal training also sia....

Ben giving alot of freedom, Reu happy.

Went to eat with the team. Helped Kenny errr.... find out abit more about his crush hahahaa.

Brain's not working well... time to sleep.
Another white hair......

that makes 2 this week.

Am I getting old? hahahaha

This shows how relaxed life was that I can't handle abit of stress....

 
Rowing in the mornings this week has been.... different.

I find much wisdom in Gorri's words.

"I think you have a very good mindset. Every goal you set you do your best to hit. But it can also be your downfall."

"Do you think you're doing enough?"

And so it hit me...

I've been concentrating on trying to hit all these milestones that I have completely ignored other factors which are just as important.

What good is doing 100 pullups on sunday if there are people out there who can do 100 in less than 10 sets, or more.

So instead of focusing on the boat beside, infront or behind me during rowing, its time to feel the water more.

Sensei once told me that I must "be one with the water."

That's exactly what I need to do now.

And now, every time I do something I ask myself if it is enough, look at the strongest, and say "no."

Wednesday, July 21, 2004

So Boss didn't let me go off early for training today.

I was quite fruastrated at first, and really pissed off.

But, it is out of his kindness that I can go off early at all for training in the first place.
And I know Ben is going today, and Jo, Louis and Za can take care of the team.

Ran to the mrt station, then ran to school, to see the team running up the slope to the track, Xue encouraging some of the slower runners.

Wanted to join the team for statics, but Ben asked Willy and me to go for 8 rounds.

*(&^#$. I needed a run anyway, although a little slow.... Willy ah... need to buck up yeah?

Pool rowing after that. Ben asked the guys to go to the small pool to do rowing. Remembered that I didn't drink enough water before training and was silghtly dehydrated when I started feeling light-headed from constantly yelling "in" and "out". But managed to stay cool hahahaha.

I find myself almost yelling "Ia!" and "sheh!".... need to remember this isn't taekwondo....

I'm so proud of the seniors. They're doing a great job mentoring, guiding, and calling the juniors up.

Went to eat dinner with the team after that.

Then one junior asked me:

"So you'll look out for us?"

To which I wasn't sure to respond...

Until later that I found out that he was some ex-beng. And I mean one of those really solemn, quiet, fierce ones haha. I thought he was picking a fight with daryl, and could also sense some uneasiness in darren, but it turned out he was just making conversation lol.

He adds a very interesting perspective to the team, I hope he stays on.

And she keeps looking at me.

Scary hahahaha.

Monday, July 19, 2004

Today I was very stressed out at work.
 
[Function= "Reu's thoughts"]
 
[Statedef 1]
Thinking about mom sick.
 
[Statedef 2]
Thinking about project for work.
 
[Statedef 3]
Thinking about getting project for work done as soon as possible so that I can leave early and be on time for training on wednesday.
 
[Statedef 4]
Thinking about the dragonboat team and training.
 
[Statedef 5]
Thinking about the Chakra trailer soundtrack that isn't completed yet.
 
[Statedef 6]
Thinking about the nyp musical poster that isn't ammended yet.
 
[Statedef 7]
Thinking about screwed I am for next month's canoeing nationals.
 
[Statedef 8]
Thinking about having to leave work at 7 to rush down to meet mom for dinner and collect her medicine with her.
 
[Statedef 9]
Thinking about how that will affect the project tomorrow.
 
[Statedef 10]
Thinking about how I will be able to finish it tomorrow and make it for training tomorrow.
 
[stateno 10, 1]
Changestate =  stateno = 1
;Infinite state loop!!!

 
 
 
I wonder if I bit off too much than I can chew.... I wonder if that is an excuse for me to take the easy way out. I wonder if I can adapt, if I can balance all this out. I wonder if things are out of perspective.
 
If I were to die right now, I wonder what all the people who are depending on me would do.
 
Ivan and his microvault project,
Edelweis and her banners
Ross and her music,
Norvin and his music,
The team,
 
And I'm saying this as if all this stuff was forced upon me. No, I wanted this.
 
 
So yeah, I'll adapt.
 
This is nothing.
 
 

Saturday, July 17, 2004

I lost.
 
Damn old geezer.
 
When the water is calm, I can catch, I can pull.
 
When its choppy, I lose feeling.
 
Not enough training in choppy water.
 
And sensei's constant suanings.
 
 
Sometimes I feel so retarded. I want to beat these buggers who have been rowing for so many years when I've spent only 3 months in the K1.
 
And I feel like all I'm doing is not enough.
 
And I am supposed to lead this team when I am this pathetic?
 
 
 
 
 
Met up with Hong in the aft.
 
It was nice my bro again.
 
Remembered the time when we would meet up everyday to train. How I said I wanted to beat him.
 
He was the one who kept me in the team for all these years.
 
Yet I couldn't beat him by the time he left.
 
And it seems after he left I had forgotten my promise to him.
 
But today I remembered.
 
I still have a target to reach.
 
 

Friday, July 16, 2004

Was damn stressed out thinking about how to fascilitate training in the early afternoon. Then boss tells me to wait for him to come back from meeting before I leave for training.
 
That would make me late... and I needed to brief the seniors and talk to the exco so badly. I was damn evil... wanted to just leave at 5 regardless of what would happen.
 
Then a miracle happened, my small thoughtless plea was heard by him and he let me go off and told me to "better train harder!".  And then I felt so bad.
 
Sometimes we really get what we don't deserve. Boss is great, he understands. Thats why I am willing to do more awesome work haha.
 
Training went pretty well.
 
Thankfully it was organized. I see so much hope in so many of the juniors. And I really need to depend on the seniors right now to forge their bonds with their juniors and small groups.
 
Finally gave a short speech after the rest of the exco did tonight. Alot of thinking into it, and I almost forgot what I wanted to say. But remembered in the end. Given our present situation I hope that it will inspire or challenge some of the guys.
 
So things are looking up. This Regetta is ours ;)

Spirit of an idiot.

When you wake up in the bus to find it pouring outside.

When some of the team have morning classes and aren't going for training.

When your only partner just called to say shes not coming down.

When you look up and the rain doesn't look like its going to stop anytime soon.

And you just brave through the rain, your shoes and berms wet, just to shiver as you change in kallang toilet, then take your boat down and start to paddle in the deserted waters of kallang basin at 7:40am.

Not thinking about all the reasons why you should call of training today. But just doing, like an idiot.

I guess hong was right in a way, I do deserve to go there, receive command, and do, receive command, and do.

Haha but I dunwan!

I'd rather row.


Glad I went down to row today, Cougar and I are getting even faster. Sprinting even even faster hahahaha.

Almost there.... this sat, I'll beat Sensei.

Wednesday, July 14, 2004

Working overtime till 9-10pm kinda sux....

But being able to go early for training the next day rocks.

All the sleepless nights, the stressing out, the brain storming...

Today was the first training with the juniors.

I was never so nervous for training before, but thankfully, more excited than nervous. The system was quite a success. Much more order, purpose, and bonding than all my 3 years watching the team. I'm so proud of all the seniors, and I know I can depend on Jo, Louis and Za. Ben was supportive too, woot.

Its pretty fun, taking all that you've learnt from the years in leadership training camps, the years instructing taekwondo, heading the prefectorial board, presidenting the piano ensemble, and formulating a hopefully ideal system for the team. It didn't go entirely according to plan but hey, maybe somethings just have to be impromptu.

So our first step was a success. It gives us an advantage for the next few more difficult steps ahead.

I can't wait for the team to see what we have installed for them next.

Charge! ;)

Monday, July 12, 2004

I'm being stretched out....

Ivan pressing me for deadline, feel very bad for having to rush off for training today, but I really was late already.

Jo got a cramp in her calf, that sux, I hate cramps. Saw her in the clubroom later still in pain so I tried to build up some chi for a manual deep heat but she got scared and disrupted my focus... haha what a waste.


I need to tell myself that I'll adapt eventually. Sometimes I wonder how parker does it, I'd probably make a bad spiderman. When he's stressed out he still tries, he's still disgustingly nice. I just want to smash things but can't because then I'd have to pay for damages...

Insomnia.

Trying to get enough rest and recover from training is becoming more and more challenging these past few days. Its difficult to fall asleep, because once my eyes are closed, my brain starts thinking about how to improve the quality of training with the dragons, about how to stay in control, how to not seem like an ass, how to sync with ben... Perhaps part of it is excitement, or hope for what we have infront of us at this juncture, perhaps it is worry. Worry that Ben will not support me, worry that Boss won't let me off from work early so I can make it on time for training, worry that canoeing will eat my time away from dragonboat.


Was smsing Hong yesterday. He's given alot of excellent suggestions regarding team building and training, and I'm suprised at how much he's learnt and knows after these years in ns. Perhaps its his post? He alleviated my mind somewhat.... knowing that my senior is supporting me behind this, especially my big bro who inspired me and challenged me during my early years in dragonboat. He was the one whom I felt would have turned the team around, He would have led and inspired the team to new heights, but alas, as far as AGMs go, his was the first when such cock ups occured.

Sunday, July 11, 2004

I suppose when you're so down theres no where to go but up.

Today's rowing rocked.

My new paddle rocks. I can feel the catch and really WACK the damn water now ah hahahahaha.

Then sensei and Agnes helped me correct my pulling trajectory. At first it felt funny, but after awhile I was flying damn fast!

Didn't get to race with sensei today, but I did trash the girls K2 pairs.

My stroke has alot more power now, I'm convinced I'll beat that old geezer next week. Hell yeah!

Haha but now feeling very very shacked and drained. I think I'll take an afternoon nap on my nice bed while listening to suikoden piano collections. yay.

Saturday, July 10, 2004

I was damn pissed off today! Can't beat sensei!!!! And he just easy rowed and conserved energy while I long pulled for the first 2 sets! He cheated! And I can't pull away from him, don't know if it because I rowed yesterday and had training in the evening... or is it because of the choppy water and me not being used to the Jaguar....

Damn damn pissed off! And he keeps making cocky remarks! And my stupid stroke pull is cocked up now as I'm doing a V instead of a C due to me fixing last week's entry problem.

And he's still saying I'm not toned enough. Damnit training hard already lah...


Met up with the dragonboaters at harbourfront. Was still damn pissed of and fraustrated... but I knew it would be extremely unprudent for me to continue the day pissed off and in deep analysis quiet mode, so... managed to go into happy mood. Yay.

Talking with the commitee. Planning alot of things, really fun. I really think the team will like this :D

Friday, July 09, 2004

An SMS wishing you happy birthday: 3-10 cents

External 80 gigs USB2.0 HDD: 400 dollars

Having your team scream out happy birthday before and after training, and pour cans of 7-up on you: Worthless.



Ok lah, priceless lah priceless lah.

Tired.

Lower back sprain from wednesday is back due to more sprinting today - hooray! Crap... how am I going to beat sensei tomorrow. (&^@#($*&^@(*$&@%(*^!@)*($

Injuries suck.

Why aren't I made out of stainless steel.
Tried to get at least 7 hours of sleep last night... but.... a barrage of sms's woke me up at about 12am. Which was nice anyway. Girls are nice. When its your birthday they sms you happy birthday or shake your hand. Boys suck. When its your birthday they want to punch you and throw you into the koi pond.

And so I awaken on my 20th birthday, hopefully a changed guy. Yes, guy. I'm not going to call myself a man ever... more of a guy or boy, I like playing around and irritating people, I like jumping around and screaming. So there.

*sigh*

Been doing alot of thinking and formulating for the team training program. Need to see Ben and the rest of the commitee's views. Lets just say I have alot of big changes to make and I hope they will give their support. This is the only way I feel. For us to evolve for the better future. Too much longing to be like last time that we never hit that goal, we need to make something new, something better for us in this team.

Trainings need to be fun, and those who dont have the fitness level we require just will not be able to catch up during out normal runs or may start to dread them.

Dashing circuits... the perfect exercise for the whole team stay together in. The faster and fitter members can dash faster and maintain their heartrates in the anaerobic or red line zones, while the newer members push themselves in the anaerobic zone and yet catch up at each station.

Plyometrics, alot of the current seniors lack aggresiveness and explosive power. Hopefully this will help them yank faster in the water.

Thursday, July 08, 2004

Had an off day from training today. Whew, I'm about aching everywhere.... need to condition faster.

And I was already stressing out about my timings for the coming national championship canoeing races... now I am supposed to lead this team to get something for this december's regetta. To think of all the chances Ben gave me to lead which I messed up...

Flargh, no more dwelling on the past. I trust Louis and Jo, and Jo trusts Zar and Zars nice so thats enough for me. Wonder why Zar and I never talk much... Anyway, we had our first commitee meeting just now, went pretty well, I know Jo's trying to keep quiet for awhile but she'll probably open up soon. heh, what I need to do too.

So, Hong, our dreams are finally in my hands to make a reality. I know that its not good to fear failure, but sometimes that fear can drive one on.

Wednesday, July 07, 2004

Today's canoeing training was super shiok.

275 pushups, 480 crunches, 90 burpees, 120 back raises in circuit sets.

Was making high pitched wheezing noises at the end of it for awhile and almost threw up during pullups... hahah what a guniang.

Did 20, then 20, then 12 pullups after that tho.

Today was the last day of club crawl. Glad I made it down. Sensei came down and we talked abit, I've convinced him to let me train in the Jaguar hahaha... then stage arts was so cute, asked me to play "Play that melody" from the march musical during the ending number, and it was pretty fun, despite the atrium's atrocious acoustics...

And guess what, the dragonboat team won the billboard competition! That damned wire mesh dragon head and tail which poked me so many times while the guys and me were working on it, and the sickening metal smell that I smelled when I dug my nose at night actually yielded some results with the girl's unique concept of a two personed-billboard. Haha I thought that was pretty cute, although was a little concerned the two might walk opposite directions and the thing would split in half.

Oh my god, I forgot to return the E309 key. Crap. Must go down to school tomorrow argh.

Tuesday, July 06, 2004

Felt really crappy this morning.

Training on sat, sun, weights and circuit on monday. Not enough sleep, muscle pains, blister on foot.

Circuit rocks, feel so alive. Sprinted until I felt a tight pain in my hamstrings bwahahaha. I'm really enjoying not having any knee pains at the moment. The dragonboaters were setting up the booth while the canoeists were doing weights. Wish I could join them... but the race is in august... as Robin says... "Charge!!!"

The HS game project looks to be coming along very nicely. Environments looking better, character animations are... scary. Damn good. And I'm in love with the main theme. Probably my best work yet, I kept playing it over and over again at work this morning... can't stop hearing those strings in my head.

Robin's insane... he wants to set aside 100k-200k to set up a studio for me to do music in once the new budget comes in. Which is pretty cool, but I can't imagine anything amounting to that much....

Club crawl these two days. I remember looking through the forms which we make those who sign up fill up. Past ccas, short description of yourself, past schools, attitude, mindset. So many interesting answers... but in the end... how many actually have what it takes.

Talked with willy on the way back. It seems those who actually realize whats going on in the team just can't bear to stay on. Willy, Stephen... What we have left are those who have their overly accentuated sense of pride; which could be misguided? How can you be proud of a team which is so messed up at times? What we have left are those who find the training to be "acceptable", and not "super siong".

The girls have their sisterhood, and although the guys lost it for a while back, we're slowly getting our btotherhood back.

I always knew that I was responsible for the deterioration somehow.

Now I know, I didn't give the guys a chance. I was so set on being sad, missing hong, missing the seniors, that I didn't take the time to give back to the team what I took. I've always seen that dwelling on the past too much makes it difficult for future growth, but I never expected myself to be guilty of something I look down upon so much.

But is it too late now?

Its up to the team to decide.

Monday, July 05, 2004

Training on saturday was killer....

I hate not being able to pull away more from the girls k2... breathing was a big problem.

To sum it all up, sensei told me that I am generally much more unfit than before the last race. I guess he's right, I've been running alot less, and trying to balance work, music and training is zapping away precious time I could be training.

My stamina is like shit, and my body fat index is disgustingly inefficient. I eat too much when I'm not training, and those waster carbs are turning to fat.

Therefore, as of yesterday I have begun drastic changes to this sorry ass lifestyle.

1. Carbo intake will be more closely monitored for off, post and pre training meals.

2. I ran either before or after rowing yesterday and today, and plan to do more running in general.

3. Serious up the weights, back to weights circuit.

4. Reconfigure my enhancement intakes drastically.

5. Try to get enough sleep.

I'm sick and tired of missing the mark, not reaching the standards I want to reach. Nationals is in one month.

Just one month.

I may look like I'm screwed right now but I sure as hell am going to pull this thing together.

Wednesday's weights session was killer... chest and triceps damn pain today... that means I need to condition more... run more.... yeah!



Watched spidey 2 with the team today. Awesome! Movies can be dangerous... I'm now having a strong urge to climb onto things... I think I'll settle for the pullup bar.
