Yesterday's training lasted 4 hours.

Cap said it counted as two sessions hahaha.

Suprise 2.4km test... Didn't come in last this time. Beat ck, but didn't manage to catch up to Alan. Soon I suppose....

Weights... think I overtrained shoulders over the past few days liao... couldn't do cling and jerk properly... and front delts were damn pain.

The weather was NICE! No hot sun. Nice cooling cloud cover. We did 30 mins nonstop rowing... walau. Think that was about 6km. Then sprints.

Huai Li came all the way down to kallang for the XPhy walkthrough... 830am... but turns out it was cancelled... and neither yixue nor junwen told him. Was quite annoyed when I found out. Geez.

Took a cab down to shaw to meet dennis, junwen, anthony, monk, melvin and pc. Played wc3, then cs, then went to bugis arcade for awhile then back to shaw to watch million dollar baby.

Its a... gross... boring... depressing... show. Geez....



Anyway, Yimei asked me to play for the piano ensem's evening concert this friday. Just decided on the piece... Kaze... which was composed somewhere last year... but was never finished.

Interesting thing about finishing up a piece one year later is that your perspective changes so much... that it gives the piece such contrast its truly enjoyable to play.

Thursday:

Went for training at nyp. No running.... wtf? Think bugger wanted them to go home early. Finished weights early with huai li then went to do situps and pullups. Then after that Louis wanted to do situp and pullups again haha, but huai li didn't make a fuss.

Went to get my water bottle on the table after training, and suddenly recalled that day when I was looking for my water bottle. I usually left it on the shelf, but that day was the last day that thought that I was going to train with them. I had packed all my backup pt attire and everything in my bag.

Glad to be able to come back and train with them every now and then. You never know how much you take something forgranted until you lose it.

I have a new white cap now. Just when I was about going to lose hope on my current white cap which has this godamned brown rust stain which I've tried everything to get rid off. This new cap's nicer. Gray cap's... a little smelly haha I better wash it.


Friday:

Gym with Dennis, then went to cox at kallang. This time cox and instructed some division of the air force. Quite a playful bunch.... even went to splash water on their luitenant kernel... wtf?

They caught on very quickly, also with the help of my senior who turned out to be their platoon commander. I just gave them two pointers on their stroke and they won the first race, and tied the second race... out of 7 boats. Strong bunch. Towards the end when I yelled out the ending encouragements, I could feel the boat surge and power suddenly increase.

Saturday:

Church... aircon died... Diane came.... Her dark eyeliner makes her look abit like chucky's bride *chuckles*.

Went for training after that.

Pullups, then...
Running.

Yeesh. But I got put with quite a slow group! So it was quite enjoyable! We ran all the way to shear's bridge... then oooooooooooooverr........ then along tanjong rhu and back to sdba. Super hot... lucky the weather was awesome and cool.

Rowing after that. Stupid low tide.... boat can't lift up at all. Did standing stroke... coach made us go for 1 minute.... wtf that's frickin long.... last few sets my right leg ended up collapsing and kneeling down on the side slope of the boat while I continued to row hahaha.


Haiz... don't even think about tomorrow's training.

Ugh. Been in kallang from 9am to 9pm today.... coxing in morning, afternoon, then training.

But who's complaining, I made 80 bucks out of 4 hours of coxing ahuahuahua. Actually it was... 1 hour coxing.... 1 hour instructing.

Had Patrick and Bryan to accompany me this time, which was more fun than coxing with strangers la... even though made some new friends last time.

Bryan's crazy... I thought he was so crazy... but he's damn funny.

Had a haircut by patrick. Yay, damn cool haha.

Rowing k1 before training, met algene. Best set, lost by about one boat length only this time. lol. Yeah, but at least it wasn't like I can't see him last time at all loh. So his boat had alot of water, I was dehydrated :p

Haiz.... must try to remember to relax next time and not jack up the stroke rate because I lose my cool. Thankfully the new seating position helps alot and utilizes much more of my back and lats, so arms don't tire out so easily. But.... because of the stupid tilt and hunch I wonder if I'll get back problems in the future.

So I have... 2 weeks to become godly in the k1 and come back with a medal in the march race.

Fight hard.

So the worse is over, I guess.

Went for training this morning.

Weights was ok... except during squats on the way up during the 3rd set there was a pain in my left thigh. Dunno wth happened also.... Dunno how heavy we were doing also... the stupid weights tonnages are so spastic.... 4.25kg... 2.somethingkg.... blindly follow johnson only. Luckily we have new weights now... sponsored by planet fitness haha.

After break we did rowing, speed drills, standing drills... during one standing exercise we hit a wave or something and boat tilted right and Alan and me almost fell out of the boat hahaha.

Then during water break I had the wise idea to cannonball into the water from the boat... and impacted on my recovering ankle which made it hurt like hell.

Haiz... working on this stupid piece now... drained for the day. Hopefully things will pick up tomorrow.
