As the day of the heats approaches,
my heart just became more and more nervous.
The anticipation,
the fear,
the possibilities.
I've gotten myself into a really tough heats.
Look.
This is heats 1 of the T-1 500m race.
Lane 1: NYJC 2
Lane 2: NJC 2
Lane 3: CJC 1
Lane 4: ACJC 2
Lane 5: HCI 1
Lane 6: RJC 1
Super duper competitive.
Featuring NJC who always row like a champion in my heats,
and the HCI guy who is damn strong in his rowing.
(We rowed together once 250m and drew, but he went on to beat another T-2 boat in my school after that)
The CJC rower is not one to be reckon with either. He's the captain of his college.
One who cheong (according to coach)
With these "star rowers", pardon me,
but i think ACJC and NYJC can forget about many things.
Further obstacles to me.
The competition will be held at Bedok Reservoir this year,
for the first time.
Down there,
Buoys are around 150m apart.
(compared to 25m between two buoys in MacRitche)
This is a big challenge.
(Not to get out of lane accidentally and get disqualified)
Not to forget Lane 6 is my weakest lane everytime during training.
(Will i eat the HCI guy's backwash and got affected in my rowing like crazy?)
Me,
I'm never going to give up!
I'm one big force they should fear too!
Let's see on 10th July, the race of the day!
My strength will come from a source which provides all power-
That will bring me through to the finals.
I believe
The finishing line shall be my victory.
