Dragon Boat Session...

A tiring Dragon Boat session today. The whole training begins with a simple 1.6km run and then followed by Sea Exercise. The Dragon Boat session was simple today which consist of just rowing alone. Well, for the first time, we did some session where the begginners (we) did some stationary row in the sea. Surprisingly, it seemed like it is more difficult than first thought.

Finally, there is a first taste of how competitive rowing is like. Today, there was a simple 300m race with some other boats today. The whole competition is really tough as there is no point of relaxing. Rowing 300m at full force is no joke. Well, the good thing is that we did well by winning the mini race despite consisting of many beginners like me in the boat. What was really commendable is that most of the rowers are at middle age while the other boats are made up of people in their teens or early twenties. It all points down to one thing:- Team Work and Technique.

Well, although it is a nice event today, a small incident marred the happy day. While doing pull ups, being weak in my fitness, I was not able to do much. Just at this point of time, someone made a statement, "Been through Army, still cannot do pull ups?"

Well, of course what he said does affect my mood but then it no longer bothers me anymore. I'd just find it insulting to realize that there are people around who relates Pull Ups with Military life. To be frank, I do feel sorry for him as his knowledge in life consist of just pull ups and fitness training. To relate it with anything in life just simply shows that he has no achievements in life in which he can boast about. Well, I guess there is always such people around and I can only feel sorry for them...
