SACA mtb xcountry race3

i did worse in dis race den i did in the first race.. if ur wonderin how come no saca mtb race2 here its cos i didnt take part..haha it was at sentosa, and apparently few ppl actually signed up for it.. I didnt take part cos 1. zero practice there 2. so far! Well..this race was no better. If u dun wanna read about my race skip to para 4

The race was held at the newly opened chestnut trail, somewhere linked to track15 which is linked to the bukit timah trail. when i say newly i mean newly..like the routes of the course were only confirmed on the morning of the race la..wth..and the general trail was onli confirmed like one week before..hence nobody could have actually practiced the full trail. My bro went down once to try, he came back sayin it was really easy, and thus we signed up for the junior A div race. den he went down a few days later, gues wat? he went wrong track. The real one was friggin-hard.2 days before race day i went down to try it..it was also my first time going offroad with clipless pedals..wa die man fell down like how damn many times..den got one downhil wich is about 50degrees steep??? took a few false tries before i finally got over the phobia of going down..at the bottom of the slope got 100 degrees right turn somemore..wa lau..went down first time cant brake in time crashed straight on into the bushes ahead. went down second time i jam rear hydrolics still cant stop crash again..i jus flew off my bike like how crash dummies fly out of cars. Quite fun actually..haha..there was one killer uphill too..soo long i jus almost died

and so race day came..second day on stupid clipless pedals..2nd time riding thro the course. we changed out of the junior's A to the weekendwarrior category(for slack half plus six ppl)..i lost out alot on the stupid down hil la.where everyone walked..the dumb ting is that they walk faster den me overtake me..aiya screwed up race la..i lost to noobs.wth..let me get used to the course and clipless pedals..u all die..i dunno my position yet not out. probably 7th? 8th? sucks..anyway i feel more times den my brother..he fell once..and that once is enough to land him in a caste for fracturing his left wristbone..ouch no more sports kaki =(

Oh well..ive finally started training..now that im like late entry for the interschools..there is actually no more 'official' reason for me to train. wth do i still train for? cos:
1.im getting fat..dun tell me stuff like (pls lor u fat i obese la) cos i really am
2.i love cycling..i introduced timo.thy(hc classmate) to cycling..I have to be better den him..cos he looks up to me..since im like the 'pro' who knows much more den him.. Wat good is a cyclist with a wealth of knowledge..and a gd bike..but cant cycle?? =S
3.i screwed up the above race..work harder
4.i need to start sailing again
- to carry on part of my past lifestyle..im a sailor..that's my identity..someting i must carry on to hc..cos ive never brought any aspect of ac life over..no friends..no cca..no council..my identity's totally gone..ive promised that i must remain the same..so here i am as a sailor again =) and ive restarted breakdancing again..thanks to abel
- I miss sailing man! ive been disconnected from the realm of sailing..from my circle of friends who still exist in sailing..never see..never talk..argh..theres someone id like to see too
- Dominic Seow (4.9classmate) just joined sailing..i sail 10 years lose to him is equal to losing all my face
- I need to get a tone (read below)
5.Im too fair!! omg im fair and plump! where are all e tone lines and that nice brown tan?? :'( the most insulting statement anyone can say to me is someting that goes along the line of "your a sailor/sportsman/cyclist??? dun look like leh!" URGGH wa lau that's the most caustic remark you can ever throw at me..PAinful ah..thats exactly wat li jia.nxin (hc st.rings) said.."ur sailor? dun look like leh..u dun look strong or athletic(WTH)"...ahh.. and when i complained to kimbe.rley(hc classmate) she supported her..saying that i look more like a musician den a sportsman..to hear all these coming from girls..worse..well at least i look like one of the tings i do
6.Ive always seen sailors and canoeist as two sports superpowers(the strongest athletes)..k im biased towards the rest(eg gymnastics trackers etc)..doesnt mean their not good just tt i dun ermm..not related to them.. SAILORS VS CANOEISTS.. its quite a fair match..both require strength and endurance..both watersports..tho i believe sailors are superior over canoeists..mus never lose! somemore im the onli sailor in hc..the reputation of sailors in hc ppl's eyes lie in me! and dawn liu..but she's a girl..nvm..ppl always look at canoeist like waa strong..i must make them see sailors in the same light..sumhow ppl are like "sailor ah?sit in boat and pullstring thats all?"..need ta beat canoeist in armwrestling/running/pullups etc..k im being childish..pardon me but i need some ideologies to make my life more interestin
7.my brother is leaner den me now..and he just beat me in 2.4..the tables are turned man..ive been better den him for all these years la..suddenly he beat me in both..boh ko leng!! but he's been stronger den me since forever..that one forget it..but wait his left hand fracture will get weaker..hmm..

i was a sportsman..wait..i still am..i wont succumb to the evil-fitness-sapping-powers of strings and chinese orchestra..wait long long ah
