What a great way to start a year. My first marathon, and first race in a C on top of that. It was a really tiring race physically as well as mentally, but jimmy and I pulled through, and i'm really grateful for that. However, I will not rest on my laurels as i still don't think i'm good enough, after all It was only the novice division and 14km, my peers are rowing 22km and 36km! So, I will keep on fighting until I can stand on the same stage as you. That is the target for the rest of my life as a Canoeist.

I really have to say this though, today I gained new respect for Joshua Lim who took on a crazy race in sacrifice for his fellow teammate and pushed himself all the way, while he didn't complete the race in the end, I knew he had pushed himself to his limits. Respect. Heres to you Joshua.
