anyway .. regatta was at geelong today .. pau n i had to wake up at rowing trainings time tat was 5.20 to get a lift to geelong by the year 9 coach Fi .. she was kind enough to drive us down .. the place was an hour away .. she had to be there at 7 so .. we drove down there about 5ish 6 .. pau n i slept all the way down there .. she picked up bronny and anna.. another coaches.. her car was so tiny and so packed .. quite dirty too .. but who cares . pau n i slept al the way there.. too tired and sleepy.. hehehe.. .
when we reached there .. we helped the other crew to rigger up and load the boat. . then pau n i sat down n ate our breaky .. then along came karen anisha and tammi .. we sat n chatted a while with the coach n stuff.. something tat u would normally do before the race.. then we ran for warm up .. 10.04 is our first race // so .. we went to the starting point about 10 minutes before .. and reached just in time .. started off real badly .. and we cant even catch up with the others.. they were like far ahead of us .. we sorta gave up in the beginning .. >.< yuzp .. sounded real bad eh/...
after the first race .. we went and had lunch ... we discussed about our racing plan and then were chatting n been really optimism .. which was a good thing. . we discussed laughed n planned for the next race .. which was a good sign .. then we started to get ready 1/2 before .. warm up n stuff ..
12.30 boat was at the starting point /..., ready.. attention ... row~!!!!!
we started off well the second race..we were just so close to the 2nd boat~!! we kept hearing the cox closer to us shouting n asking them to row faster. ..we did a MUCH better job this time than the first race.. was really awesome~! even though we still came last but still ..it was the effort. . the team spirit and most of all was tat we all tried our best~@!! i bet if we bring up our fitness. ..we could have won~!! ..well .. not won but at least wont get last .. :) tat's our aim .. hehhee
