Surround yourself with only people who are
going to lift you higher.
-Oprah Winfrey
thanks for posting this nice quote on the blog meera. Indeed, after almost 4.5 months in canoeing, I've learned to treasure my teammates more. Those around me who are constantly encouraging and who never give up on you.
Today's rowing session wasn't a proper training for jianrong and I, instead I felt that today's "mediocre" training was a test of our perserverence and determination to row our best and not just throw in the paddle and give up. Today, our capping spell came back to haunt us again..... One moment we were feeling all powerful gliding through and water and next second, we're swimming next to our boat and shouting for help. Twice, that happened. For no reason at all :( I suppose I've learnt from my past mistake that it is always important to stay optimistic after something bad happens. Don't stop and whine, just pick yourself up and move on. thanks shenghao for keeping the faith in us though we capped after 2 strokes of starting burst.
Overall, it was a good day today. Got to row with priya on the k2! :D you've been improving by leaps and bounds priya, now we're rowing with BOTH seats on! three cheers for priya! Keep up the spirit alright? It's pretty "normal" to keep capping in the beginning, but don't be demoralized, make use of every single water training to improve even more! so proud of you! ;>
