I guess the more you get dissapointed, the more you learn to deal with it.

4th yesterday.....

Maybe experience is just such a heavy factor, that you can't win against it.

Rowing the k1 for about a year now. Managed to beat a couple of strong rowers, but still not good enough to beat most of them.

I've learned so much in this 1 year... I can't imagine what someone else could have learned in 2 years... or 4 years... or even 7 years time.

It seems like an impossible feat. No matter how hard you pull, and the experience isn't there.... you lose.



Maybe thats why in a way, dragonboating is more fair.

You get a new team every year consisting of old and new rowers. You train the team up as a whole, taking into consideration all of them.

Its not like some secondary school team stays together AND goes to the same exact jc or poly team.

Even the uni teams have new rowers, even though a good number are experienced.





Anyway, next week is the mr500.

Completely different feeling loh. This week I was the underdog... stupid ass newbie... kenah bullied by the experienced canoeists.

Next week I'll be with the more experienced rowers... the other way around la.

Not sure which is more fun. Its more exciting being an underdog, that's for sure.


Anyway, I'll be cheering for teamNYP, even if we end up in the same race.
