To My Dearest NACC Sprinters:
I dun know how many of u all would get to read this, but these are my sincere thots for u guys that will linger as u all paddle stroke by stroke from the start to the finishing line. I'm gonna miss being by your sides for this race. But nevertheless i would like to see u guys win tomolo!
Tomolo would be a big day for all of u taking part in this round ubin long distance. It's not just a show of strengh & edurance, it's also a show of skill, judgement, teamwork & determination.
Look sharp, start alert throughout the race. Find gaps & open waters, it will give u less resistance. Watch for opportunity & watch for danger. Put power in paddling into the wind, the wind keep the boat straight & stable while your stroke give it power for speed. Concentrate on your stroke when paddling along the wind, boat runs faster but in exchange for handling & control. Proper stroke gives better direction control.
Remember your techniques, "ribbons", entry point, exit point, trunk twisting, punching forward, rhythm & counting. Keep your mind working, 2 hr is a long time in the sea & sun. Never let your mind drift. Focus!
To the one taking NP1, it's a good boat, good control & low resistance. I wish it'll bring u good luck as it has brought me much, i've performed & won my medals with that boat. To the one using my paddle, i hope it'll will help u perform, for it has never let me down.
As i look at u all from the side line i see many of u all have surpassed me, i'm proud of u guys! Do your best guys & do yourself proud! I'm sure u guys can make it! Maybe next year, soon, i'll join u guys for competition once again. Good luck guys!
Keep up the good work »
