anw i was looking through my canoeing stuff and i realised canoe has made me a lot stronger but yet alot weaker. stronger as in physically fit but weaker cos of all the injuries. i was looking at what mr nah wrote about 'xinhui is a very sporty student' and telling shar, 'that's not true at all!' to which she replied, 'maybe we were only acting at first but now it's become true.' i remember when we were playing squash, i was thinking, 'i bet i couldnt play like this if not for canoe.' it's not really that canoe gave me squash skills but more of the confidence to step out, chase and hit the ball (: which goes for other sports as well.
haha oh but the bad thing is i became so confident that i keep being reckless. like the time when i returned to training after i tore my arm muscle, i was so pissed at the missed episodes of training that i tried tailing yeelin and gao for 14 rounds. since i only managed 13 in the end, i decided to run at 13.0-14.0 for um i think 6km on the treadmill, and next thing i knew i was lying in A&E. haha!then there's also the part about tearing my arm again one week before nats, which was really...facepalm. i thought my injuries would go away after canoe but last week i realised my fingers are now in such bad shape, i couldnt lift the kettle with my right hand. and for napha, i had to pray really hard that i could complete my SBJ, situps, shuttlerun and pullups with a successful A on the first try. cos although everything improved, i knew there was no way my knees/ hip/ fingers could survive a second intensive session on the same day. haha! i sound like some old woman. but i still need to workout more!
