of triumphs and failures
a post to finally update after so long! sorry people. been pretty busy. haha. lets see, life saving nationals open water was held yesterday and on saturday at sentosa. it was really an interesting event. :)
oh and congrats to everyone! temasek lifesaving team won the men's champion and 2nd runner up for the overall champion!
it was a totally unexpected win as we didnt expect much due to the fact that the teams consisted mostly of juniors and we didnt win as much events for open water. overall, it was a great experience. cheering each other on and such. personally, my performance for open water wasnt as good as still water. as what squid said, im not built for running sprints! hahaha. well at least i know i pushed my hardest even though i came in last. i literally waddled like a penguin instead of running to the finishing line. HAHA! but it was a good experience for me. seeing the team cheer for me actually pushed me to complete the damned thing and not be embarrassed bout being last. haha.
well at least now, i know what my standards are and where i stand. hopefully, i would get to take part again next year, AND i hope to clock in at least 1 minute and 20 seconds or less for the 100m manikin tow with clip and fins. whooo! hope and train. thats the best i can wish for. haha.
but one thins i will never for at all is, as what coach said, it was the team spirit that is what makes this team. the bond we really had was so strong. i loved the feeling of togetherness. its like finding your family in this team and having a real sense of belonging. so what if we didnt win overall champion or more gold medals? we were there to support each other through and through, shouting, screaming, running along with them, jumping up and down just to root for our team mates, despite the fact that we know that the waves crashing down on them would cause them not to hear. this is what this life saving team does. and that is why i love this team so much. :)
well aside from the nationals and trainings, i have been helping out with the prep for the engine leadership camp (which is starting tml..) programme. well after all the planning and scrambling, i hope things turn out well. haha. il be gone for the next 3 days. so okay time for rest. its gonna be a long 3 days...
