Subject: In response.....

Hey Lawrence.....just read your message. Well you wanted to know how i coped with me being knocked out of the semis, so here goes.... Iguess it's normal that one would keep thinking about how he got knocked out. That's what happened to me. I kept thinking abt what had happened and what i did wrong. The race kept replaying in my mind.BUT i came to the conclusion that i made some mistakes while there were other stuff that happened that i simply could not control. I understand what you mean when you talk about not knowing whether you gave your best.
All i want to say to those who did not qualify or participateis that your greatest achievement was never going to come from the points you contribute to the team by getting into the finals, rather it was the 1.5 years you spent training with and pushing the team. THAT is the greatest contribution you made. I've made up my mind about a few things ever since the nationals ended.
Firstly, regardless of being in the finals or not, i know that i would be able to match up(not necessarily beat them) to any of the finalists on any given day. If there was anything i learned from my semis, it was that nobody was untouchable.Not david, not marvin, not shijia.
Secondly, i have decided that my canoeing career shall not end here. I would like to join the alumni in future.(i hope all of you will join me)
And lastly, yes i am going back to help the juniors.Through the push ups i have realised that though there may be a few black sheeps in the team, there are definitely people there who deserves to do well. That's why i am going back.

Finally, i would just like to say(i've said this b4 but i'll say it again) that it's been great training with all of you all this while.To Lawrence, i personally feel that one doesn't need to be remembered but rather, it is more important to remember the experiences that one has gone through.
Cheers!!

P.S :Anybody wants to do weights on Monday??(on a regular basis)
