Lost

We lost.

Lost by 0.12 secs in the semi-finals mixed team event and about 1.5 secs in the men's team event. Dui ah. Feeling dejected and disappointed after the whole event. Couldn't figure what might have gone wrong. Was hoping we could at least go into the finals. Overall, it was good experience for those who are taking part in the dragonboat race for the first time. Our timing was much faster than usual training since it was such a short distance of 250m. If we drop our stroke rate, we wouldn't have time to catch up in the race. We have shown much improvement compared to the Jun race as we were much far behind in other stronger teams such as OCBC, HSBC and Exxon Mobile. While heading to Suntec for dinner, we were joking saying that we shall stop using services of OCBC and HSBC. They shall experience a huge transfer of funds within a day for no apparent reason and vandalism occuring on their adverts. heh.

Gotta train even harder for the coming Nov race. It will be a distance of 350m and it's gonna be held in the Singapore River. I believe the next sets of training will be even tougher if we wanna get into at least a 3rd position in the Regatta. Shall motivate one another to take training more seriously and not take opportunity to slack. No more avoiding the chin-up bars after rowing. :P

Hope to get the holiday chalet at Sentosa so that we can head down to the beach and wack the beach volleyball. "All units are fully booked till the end of the year", said the chalet administrator. wah piangz. Now it's only Sep and all the units are fully booked??! gosh. I shall be contented with just a chalet at East Coast. Haiz. Prefer the Sentosa beach leh.
