1 Year Anniversary of Rowing

This will be a little personal sharing of how i joined the team in rowing, which started last year 12th Sep 2009. I can remember that it was a saturday, which means it is the start of 'Double-Training' for regatta. I can still remember the first 2 people that i met was Thomas and Roger, and that was how i got in to meet the other rowers. The rowing technique is different from the other coaches that i have experienced with. I am also glad that i can still catch up with the training, except for certain land training which somehow give a strain to my knees and lower back. Rowing with FUN DB also allow me to learn a few things (not related with dragon boat rowing), especially from Coach Lele who will sometimes share about certain life experiences, or anything under the sun... I must admit its not easy rowing in dragon boat... There were times that i have also experienced frustrations and disappointment. But i have also experienced 'glory' and excitement with the team. We were just so close to marking a glorious achievement.

And 1 year later for 12th Sep 2010; as i see the current team, it has grown in 'size'. Looking at the newbies coming for orientation and seeing them do the circuits training, i can't help thinking that i also used to be like them a year ago. I certainly hope that they will stay long in the team, and enjoy as much as i like about dragon boat rowing.
