Had sea training today. Took a cab to Kallang cos I woke up late. Reached there at 6.58 am I think. Didn't run today cos I was still recovering from flu.

I launched the T2 over with Junwen cos Yuen Foong was late. We rescued Daphne and Xunbin twice. They were pretty shaky at the beginning.

Went to practise the K2 with Lina. It was quite nice paddling with her, cos she is really stable. Although I was very shaky, she is still able to balance me. In fact, it seemed like she was doing all the balancing, while I just needed to paddle. And I think it was also because of balancing me that her back hurt after that. Sorry man! Unlike when I paddle with Yuen Foong, once I lean, both of us will go down, cos she's not heavy enough to counter me.

After a 20 mins break, Lina and I went to practise on the K1 white. I could get on the boat and paddle 4 to 5 strokes before I capped. Though I've made improvements, but I think I'm not improving fast enough. Argh!~ Lina helped me with balancing on the K1. Must really thank her for that cos she helped to hold the boat for a very long time, and gave me some useful tips too.

Coach also said that I should not put my shoulder down when I paddle, cos that will cause the boat to be unstable. And that the upper body should be "detached" from my butt. My butt should go with the boat, while my body remains upright. Lina also told me that I always tilt to one side, that's why I'm so unstable. My front catch and recovery are not there when I paddle either. And I shouldn't shift so much.

Overall, I think I've had a pretty fruitful session today.

But I fell down at Kallang once again. I think my "八字" don't match those of Kallang. I've already fallen down many times there. This time, it was because the boat hit the stairs railing, and it pushed against me. Had a pretty bad fall. Hurt a part between my lower back and my butt. Argh!~
