- Inspiration -
i heard dis from some1 sometime ago forgot to blog bout it till i heard something similar to it recently."u achieve the most growth when u decide to push beyond ur own physical, mental, psychological etc limits"
so ive decided to start my weight gaining regime now to handle the standard. wanted to start next yr but wad the heck =P
sat trainin was ok ba. j2s wanted to join in but din come lol. den only 5 guys coz all the girls at ogl camp tgt with brian. i was the only laser trainin with 2 420s so it was abit awkward but nvm. morning was gusty moderate wind with v strong current. both 420s drifted to naval base liao. literally sailin backwards i guess =X while waiting at a mark for them to be 'escorted' back by wee lee, i practice my tacks n mark roundings. still long way to go.
den afternoon we juz literally pia all the way. its was strong wind(14-15 knots) with choppy waves. i was dyin like all the way =P 420 could sorta handle but ben ho trapeze wire juz snap n he n andrew capsize =S so they go back n took over tim n ben ng boat. as for me, wee lee ask me join in 1 race of Coach Hu trainin group to pace with Jeryl.
stupid race i guess. i noe current was strong so i stayed on the line but the rest of the bytes were at least 1 boat length in front of the line. when the race started i literally had to push from the back to get clear wind. since i was sailing standard i could move abit faster den the race n get clear wind. but i tacked to go shallow waters n guess wad happened... 178111 SAIL TORE. damn it was only the start. sorry naiyu =X
guess coz it was an old sail. den all my control lines were pull to the v max(use 2 hands n whole body to pull them). so when i tack, the sudden pressure juz pierce through the sail liddat. somemore the tear is at the leech somemore. dat explains it. should i say dat im violent? its juz dat i get v worked up when i dun get up to speed asap. so i kinda force the boat to flatten. but it was strong wind so i used alot more force resulting in it tearing.
i tink theres nothing wrong in damaging equip but the lesson u learn after it is impt ba. at least i understood y it tore. not like last time need coach tell me y something went wrong.
ok lah guess i gotta get down to work now. cya soon! =)
