The Weekend Training + National Vertical Marathon

Some little notes from Our Dear Captain Ivan Chong:

Thanks all for the effort everyone put in to come down early for the time trial on Sunday - it was indeed a long day and I'm still amazed at how Lele managed to compress training into such a short time! Tough but now after resting i can see how it's absolutely effective.

Do have a look at the videos that Keith posted on the facebook group (thanks Keith!) - you can see how international teams row. How coordinated, aggressive they are and how they really push their limits!

The time trial results are for our own records and to self improve. Rowing conditions changed throughout the time trial but these are the same challenges we might be facing during a race and they will only look at the end timing. We will aim to do more time trials (targetting end Aug and Oct) for everyone to monitor your progress.

Please DO NOTE that Tomorrow Training (15/06/2011) is shifted to Delta Clubfitt Gym instead of Queenstown Stadium, we will be doing weights training.

Saturday, 18 June 2011, Bedok Reservoir (9.30 am)
Sunday, 19 June 2011, SDBA Kallang (1.30pm) + Land Training

Since I am the one blogging, let me share my experiences going for the National Vertical Marathon which took place last Sunday morning. All of you should try it at least once in your lifetime. 63 floors, climbed and conquered though I was already breathless at the 17th floor ~ when I reached the top, I was rewarded with a nice scenic view of the Marina Bay area, and of course Jelly legs...

Ciaoz,
