SAVA 2011

This year sava sprints international 7!!! 10 and 11 sep 2011.

10 sept
today was the premier mixed and tertiary women sets.
first the mixed. after the heats, i somehow ended up pacing the next few sets with alicia.
but suprising the feel was very good. kinda shocking taking that we nv did any race set as a mixed boat before!!! though we ended up in the plate finals. i think it was a good push.
oh, and the charge, just love the power!!! =)

for tertiary women, we got 4th in round 1, with the difference being less than one sec from first to last. so it was kinda like anyone's game.
first set, our first six cocked up, but i can say this maintenance and charge feel was the best one ever.
and seeing that we were the only sch that had to go down directly after mixed repecharge, it was a good set.
then set 2. starts was okay, maintenance and charge, same as first set but with everyone's all out, ( haha at charge everyone starting screaming their lungs out) we ended up FIRST!!!! in round2 winning RP!!! waaa... it just felt good lor.
event though the overrall results was that we got 3 still losing to rp, but at least it shows that it is not impossible to beat them.
but so weird that just nice the added up timing, came up with 2 1st and 2 3rd. hehe

hmmm... guess rowing with little expectations may sometimes just giv u a lot of surprises! =)
maybe bcus there's no stress to perform. hmm... proven more than once. haha

11 sept. today.
row at nteam.
hmmm... think the day didnt start off very good but didnt end off very good as well.
1 out of lane set, one collision set.
hmm... think i am kinda getting used to it. :x
maybe cause of the wind or water condition, the boat didnt feel as good as yesterday.
but it was a good push for the plate finals 20 crew and 10 cerw grand finals!!
congrats on 1st place!!
today went home with no medal but a number of learning experiences.
think i wasnt as calm as yesterday as well when pacing today.
hmm.. maybe its the problem of the stress as well again.

i guess for MR500 and SAVA, rowers will like it but for the coxswains... hahaha jia you lo!!!

this kinda sums up my weekend and this year's SAVA!
see u soon!!! =)
