rewriting history.

today marked the end of canoeing National Adivs 2008. incredible day, all the final races were on. saw racers in A,B and even C divs of amazing quality and ability. omg, just imagine that next year we'll have to race against some of them. ahh what the heck, we'll take them down. ahaha. yeah.

anyway, the current j2 batch have really left a legacy in SAJCcanoeing. in the mere 3/4 years since the establishment of the team, the team has gone from being relatively unknown and total outsiders in the racing scene to a rather formidable force. this was to no small extent proven today in the finals by the j2s as they really fought tooth and nail with the other teams, not even flinching in the face of the traditional powerhouses of NJC, ACJC, RJC, etc... although not all the seniors made it into the finals, and even then not all the finalists came out on top, i do not for a moment doubt their capabilities or their desire to succeed. in many cases, the only difference between them progressing to the finals or winning their finals came down to that little bit of luck that was lacking, something totally out of their control. nonetheless, im really really proud to say that despite the overwhelming odds, huiqin-qianwen came out with double silvers in their 500m and 1000m k2 events, and eugene-jack-nicholas-jonathan stormed to grab the first ever sajccanoeing gold in their k4 event. congrats!

its been a really pleasure and honour to have the chance to train with such a wonderful bunch of people. not only are they totally dedicated during trainings, they're not too shabby to talk to outside of trainings as well. just want you people to know that you've all been really inspirational to me and (borrowing a line used by gideon) - i want to grow up to be just like you. hahaha.
