National canoeing championships

Well, K2 10000m got 2nd. -_-' Me and ZK did a lousy take off which caused us to fall back at the start. After the take off, we were 5th in place. Infront of us were 2 combined schools boat and 1 nus and 1 ntu boat. After the first 1km, we almost capped at the turn. Luckily i manage to push us back to balance. We were still way behind the 4 boats. After the 2nd turn, the ntu boat capped. This made us 4th in position. At the 4th km we caught up with one of the combined schools boat and the nus boat. The 3 of us rowed side by side, pushing the pace and trying to pull away first. After the 5th km, we manage to overtake the 2 boats which got us into 2nd position, but i realise that the nus boat was riding our wash. I started to get an idea about how they are conserving by riding our wash. From then, i tried many tricks to lose them such as squeezing them of with another boat but it was to no avail. At the 8th km, the combined school boat manage to catch up to us. I took this opportunity to slow down abit so that the nus boat would go ride the combined schools wash. When the nus boat finally left us, it was clear for me and zk to go. " ZK! Lets burst all the way now!" i commanded. From then we whacked the last km as hard as we can. Before they knew it, we pulled away from the pack and manage to finish at 2nd place. It was a very good experience. It was raining for awhile during that 10km and while it was raining, i told zk that we will take this chance to recover before our final burst. It was damn WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOO! haha. Im never ever gonna understand rowing a k2 or a k4. FOREVER K1.
