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!

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.

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.
