i went for rowing with Soo, 9am at salter's point. it was just the two of us with two other seniors but it was cosy. we had the whole resevior to ourselves. we met early and took out the tressles to lay the boat on, the rows and the boats. since it was only the both of us, we took to a scull each. training was fun and yet weird. when i thought it was only the four of us on the waters, there was something more...
territoral crabs, fishes that nibble on your feet, jellyfishes( the non-poisonous ones) and dolphins. yes shocking huh. i cant believe that im rowing with the dophins. i didnt see many only a few that skimmed on the waters surface. hard to believe but true enough it was a dolphin.
to one each, we trained for 2 hours. although i wished it was longer but the seniors had their own stuffs and i was already beat from all the rowing to and from shore. i did almost a few laps back and forth while she coached me from the shore.
4 hours from this and last week's training and i still have'nt gotten the hang of the turning directions.left turn- row right, right turn- row left. spot a jellyfish, whack it with your blade- defend yourself! im just kidding, i was tempted when i came across one at my blade tip. my senior had to guide me with instructions on which blade to square and which to stide. haha! pathetic me. i wish it was canoeing. direction turning was so much easier.
oh please. now i wish everyday was rowing training. at least theres no university or bad news from potential employers on my job application. im glad at least rowing is something i look forward to every weekend. i hope like canoeing, i'll get into the school team and participate in races, one in which i forfeited the last- dragonboating when i had to leave.
things will change for the better. my phone got fixed after it got soaked in water from the leak in my bottle. sometimes, i just dont question how it gets itself fixed. i dropped it a couple of times HARD on the floor and woohoo! haha
PRAISE THE LORD.
i so love rowing and the LORD.
