nice try

...the moment of truth... after months of hard work... the test of how well i did durin training has come. i was at last included at the line-up for the race... it the 1st manila dragon cup (2.5k regatta)... i dunno what the hell happened to me that during the first hit my left arm just hardened... or whatever you may call it... i find it hard to paddle the right way... this maybe caused by the adrenaline rush, as they say, i felt that time... plus the fact that the boat that time was suprisingly heavy... i was sitting before the last man and i really felt something was really wrong... we were much better...well, way much better than this on trainings... and so i realized the people in the line up was those who doesn't attend the trainings.... and there's really nothing to expect that time... serves as a lesson for the team... and as ive said to pat, "i just hope they did learn something from the event"... I am not justifying anything but we could have done better if everyone was coming on training days. It was a big suprise that La Salle, our former adopted team won first place on that hit... how i wish RCP have that same discipline... The women's crew deserves honor as well for they too won first place on their hit... or was it 2nd... or whatever... the thing is they've qualified for the final round.

-----> my next sport on the list to try would be: WATER POLO and SCUBBA DIVING
