Dear Paddlers,

The November Regatta is only 5 weekends away.

Our coach, Nasi has drawn up a special programme to help us for this season.

Thursday: Strength and Speed

Satuday: Endurance (Men's and Women's Practices)

Sunday: Technique (Very important)

Dear Team,

Here's a friendly reminder that there will be Land Training Sessions from tomorrow.

What to bring: Training/running shoes and water. Mosquito repellent and gloves are optional.

There are only 5 weekends to the November Regatta and 12 land training sessions.

Hope to see as many of you tomorrow.

Cheers,

Pauline

Please indicate if you are coming. We need to have a "minimum" number of people signed up in order to proceed.

We hope to have a turn-out similiar to picture(refer right).

Clement

Thanks to all who made the effort to sign up.

After review of sign up list and close discussion between our coach Nasi, Men's & Women's Team Captains, it was decided that we "throw this race out"(refer Mark Ward's e-mail to the team) and have regular Sunday practice on Sunday, 19th October... with Nasi on board.

Fret not, we will try to make this practice one to remember... for a long time(not sure if this is a good or bad thing...:Pp).

Please note that there is 1 more Masters Series Race on the 9th November, Sunday.

THIS IS THE ONE. THE BIG RACE. THE ONE WE ARE PREPARING HARD FOR. THE ONE WE WANT TO DO WELL AT. THE ONE TO HOPEFULLY END OUR COMPETITIVE YEAR ON A HIGH NOTE.

Race Distance : 280m, a sprint race

Ten kilometers in a dragon boat?  Are we nuts? 

In a word, yes.  But we still put together 18 gluttons-for-punishment and Wann at the helm for a strong finish.  We came in sixth out of 18, "only" 3:46.16 behind the Mountbatten Machine.  The full race results are at the end of this article.

The only teams ahead of us were Mountbatten, two polytechs, SAFRA and the Aussies.  The one that really hurts is the Aussies.

Be at the AustCham 10K and show some support!

No practice this Thursday.  It's been moved to Wednesday to take advantage of the holiday.
