i went back to school after dinner to lock the lifeguards locker since it was somehow not locked and i happened to have the key. i used that chance to steal the competition rope back to practise. i've been practising my rope throwing since 8 plus till a few minutes ago. then i decided to give myself a break since my arms were tired and my fingers were all rope-burnt! ;'(
i am getting more and more impatient with myself! despite practising for so long and trying so many different methods, i still couldnt even reach the 12m mark once. and the rope that i used was not even soaked with water, which means that it was lighter than it was supposed to be. i even tried coiling and throwing in a slower pace to see what was wrong but i still couldnt get it right. the rope just couldnt be fully released. arghhh why?
someone once asked me how important this competition was to me. i said it was very important but i couldnt give a reason why. actually there're many reasons, such as to participate in our first ever competition as a team, to foster the bonds in lifeguards, to have good memories to remember after we all graduate, to make acjc lifeguards known to other schools, to beat our personal best records, etc. but whats the ultimate reason behind all these? i think i need to find out what that is before going for competition.
okay i should get back to rope throwing now. i'll find my gloves so that my fingers wont be burnt anymore. i should get the coiling and throwing right before thursday as i still need to work on my pulling. it needs to be improved and so do my swimming, towing, diving underwater and plunging! arghh tmr i wont go for gp consultation anymore but instead go swimming to do some self training instead. nus invitational will be my first priority now! omg 11 days! will i have enough time?
