my race is over. to be able to take on the best k1 ac has to offer, to face Pamela in her Nelo Vintage, Christine in her Nelo Vanquish and Calista in her Plastex Olympic Warrior...i've never felt so humbled and yet so privileged in my entire life. yet somehow, i feel sad. that i wasn't strong enough to provide them with any real competiton. maybe my canoeing career ends here, or just maybe, one day i'll be able to face these boats again....if that time does come, i hope we'll be able to take each other seriously.
i ate rabbit food. i made at least 5 new friends from different schools, and i overcame long-ago grudges. for what it's worth, i've finally learnt how to make the bow of my boat exit the water and fly. too little, too late; but nats'09 is something i'll never forget.
