MR 500 - 18/19 March
one of the best and most tiring races.
rowing 3 races on the first day and 6 on the sec was no joke! cos the junior team was so small. haha and we had so many boats. aching everywhere now and im so dark!!
but the pain and ache was all worth it! every second of the race was so painful. it didnt help that some of us had back to back races. but the hunger and desire in the boats came out so strong. the odds were against us. we didnt have any dragon boat trng this year at all and some new members had never even held a db paddle before. we were also up against much better teams like nus and ntu who had months and prob years of trng. but nothing mattered cos all of us had the heart to row. we wanted it so much and it showed in our races. even though we didnt get through all, like the mixed boats, it didnt really matter. we had some good results though!
tertiary women - first
open women - second
yea i really love the junior team. the team spirit everyone had in the boats. it was a wonderful feeling (= no one gave up and im really happy that everyone overcame these races! i'll never forget our very first race as a junior team :D
