k2 with yimtong!
"put the k1 back and take out two k2s."there was this little element of thrill, not knowing what to anticipate.
partnered dearest yt (:
took the front. 10km. had to deal with heavy rain, blurred vision and choppy waters at the start. ("don't panic! just use the rudder and paddle back normally. stay calm! slowly!")
saw soph and rimmel 1km ahead of us, lihui in her k1 paddling out of the lagoon.
some points along the lane, the coach was literally breathing down our necks. i confess, it was intimidating and nerve-wrecking. (captain, aka the stable backseatter gave a little wry grin, "so how does it feel like to have hx's attention?") so the day has come when the thunderous voice was directed at me and the reservoir echoed my name. "YANHAN! WATCH UR LEFT!!!" not that it was a triumph of any sort. there was this self-induced pressure as well i guess, to match up to yt, considering her racing experiences. it was similar to how i felt when i partnered lihui the last time.. but nope, we shant step into the boundary of inferiority complex. yt was supportive, helping me with qte a bit of techinical stuff, really much appreciated (: y'know when u mentioned abt my tendency to speed up the minute i tense, sounded very familiar to something i used to tell my frontseatter.
out of water, hx highlighted our individual mistakes and went in-depth. i felt, it was a training session like never before. leaving macritchie, there was this intangible mixture of sentiments. past, present, future came together erratically and collided into one. hmmm.
lowyimtong, haha it's an honour to be tagged by you! knowing that you dont usually do so. aiyah i'm forever editing the email i'm typing and saving it as draft. at this rate i think i'll only be ready to send it to you when we step down next year. :D
darn blisters (one popped and secreted liquid), dull aching sensation in lower back, gum on the right side is hurting like nobody's business. eating waffle of dissatisfactory standards left me in dismal.
need to catch up with all the people i love. hello how can books be more important than them.
/datelines. deadlines.
and between now and then till i see you again i'll be loving you
love me.
