Singapore River Regatta 2007

We trained, we bonded, and we finished the race on 4th December 2007 in the Singapore River Regatta. Though we came in last but not the least, but at least we made it by 2.09.23. The timing we took to complete is better than last year as I heard from my coach, Jason. Well, we will get the shield (for 1st position) back, the one which was with us for the whole year of 2005. We won the race of year 2005 without much competition and difficulties, and not forgetting a bunch of strong supporters made up of our own staff and families.

Back to 2007, we are still proud of ourselves though, a team made up of three handsome looking men and seven gorgeous ladies of the South East District (and not forgetting a couple of our strong back-uppers who will be standing in tall for us in the team should the water in the river refuse our entry not matter what the reason), being able to complete the race competing with groups that consisted of mostly sturdy and tough looking men with purely brute strength and force.

















It was worth the effort of our time being together training, rowing, moving boats, bonding, eating, bathing and catching up with one another in the Kallang Basin river, the Kallang Sea Sports Club and the hawker centre nearby for this ten over sessions of training.
We will yet again strive for the shield in Singapore Regatta 2008 with our new dragon boat work plan for 2008.
