jasmine is so strong!!

wheeee the scf marathon race is finally over!!

ok maybe i shouldn't use the word finally. it's not like i've been training or mentally preparing myself for the race for the past 2 mths.

in fact, it was more like the last 2 days. jasmine and i decided to take part at the very last minute. n it was REALLY last minute. entries were closed on wednesday and we only decided to take part on thursday night. thank goodness for lack of competitors in our category so they decided to let us in.

but it was such a huge risk considering that:
1. we've never paddled together before AT ALL
2. both of us have never done more than 15km in the past 2 mths
3. jasmine has never done a single portege in her life
4. i have to sit in front and i really hate being front rower
5. we haven't been training consistently (whoops. ok i think it's just me)

so i dunno what made us not mind taking part. we weren't like NOOOOOOOOO WE NEVER TRAIN TOG BEFORE WE DOWAN TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!

it was more like eh let's just go down n have fun!!

hurhur. we're like how morbid. that's JASMINE for u. ahahhaah.

and we did reasonably well too!in fact NUS basically swept the 1st and 2nd positions. yayyy NUS rawks. but then again, the senior category was quite pathetic. pui.

but i'm damn proud of jasmine la. her first long distance race (28.8km CAN. not funny at all.) in a k2 and she didn't give up at all. U DA WOMAN!!! haha. and no lor i wasn't pulling the boat by myself. my secret power also not that power! come for marathon trainings!!! hurhur. if u feel traumatized to do k1 i can always paddle k2 with u!

and our porteges were damn unglam. there was this time this njc boat tried but failed miserably to be gracious and asked us to go first. but his freaking boat is like blocking my head and in my way. HOW TO GO!!? retard leh. and then after that he pushed jasmine. like wtf. act gracious only.

and yayyyy i'm starting to like being front rower. it's like i get to decide everything, whose boat to ride wash, which way/side to ride wash, yada yada. not like i'm damn pro la but it was a pretty good first experience :) the first 2 rounds was actually quite fun clinging on to different boats. but the 3rd round was freaking painful la (that's like 21.6km already). it's where the pain in ur arms/shoulders/deltoids/blisters start setting in. damn gross la. and the final round was the worst. it's like, it's ending but not really quite done yet. it's times like that where nonsensical sentences like "so near yet so far" makes so much sense to me.

ok fine in normal circumstances i always find that sentence pretty much spastic.

but ANYWAY.

yayyyy we finished it!:) so happpppppppppie. the prizes were quite crap though. at least for my category.

and today someone asked me why my k2 partner looks different.

eh. maybe coz it's a different person? geeez. is he blind or wat.

oh mann i'm roasted and blistered. dat's like the worst combination ever. BOOOHOOOOOOOOOO. i'm actually in pain from the sunburn instead of the 28km. but strangely, today's distance actually felt less painful than the one in perth.

on the way home, the bf told me if he won a paddle, he would have given it to me coz he recalled me saying i wanted to buy a paddle a few mths back. AWwwwwwwwww how sweeeeet :)

AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it hurts when i lie down. how to SLEEP LIKE THAT!! :(
