haha today's training was imba cool. go tiger! <333 oh man i totally love this boat for all the progress it's given us! :D although it doesnt look very sleek nor powerful, i'm so used to the tiger now that changing btw low/high seats doesnt bother me much, and i doubt there's any other boat which i can roll and control stability so comfortably on. i think i can probably paddle with my eyes closed on the tiger and still have absolute faith that it'll listen to me and respond to my touch. everytime something unexpected happens, like motorboat waves or people cutting into our path, i'll just be like...c'mon tiger. this ain't scary cos we've done it before and we can do it again (: it's the confidence i have in my boat that keeps me calm on water when bad things happen.
anyway the water's getting suckier and suckier which is great! totally rocks yay :D everytime we come down the lanes i'll be like 'yayyy train for marina and bedok :D' i think i blasted out too fast today though, was quite dead by the 3rd set so didnt really zoom for the 9th-12th km. we had an amazing start and the starting burst we had for one of the long dist sets...wow. haha i was grinning my face off and i went WOOHOO which was quite retarded but heck the exhilaration was so shiok! i've no idea if we'll ever replicate that (cos we weren't actually piaing extra hard or anything) but the feeling was...i felt super high cos like there was this huge mass of horsepower underneath us and our paddles were slicing through the water and everything just fell into the place. i think it must've been what jiahui (or was it gao?) meant when they say AK goes so fast that there's no time to control it, but just paddle. abit sad cos maybe i should have used that opportunity to give it my all and test the tiger's full abilities. but rawr i probably wouldnt have been able to finish my prog afterwards.
before today, i was still happily thinking that 27 km would be quite manageable seeing as there's portage, but now..lol. i'm starting to grasp the full enormity of what we're doing. but i'm still on an adrenaline high!! :D haha i love the retarded little tiger :DD
