4) What it takes to Win!
Since our awesome performance at PA Championship, we have said enough during training about how much we want to win. The training tempo has stepped up; tyres become a training aid. Countless cursing were uttered as we pull that donut for all the long distance sets. I have seen all sorts of methods to push ourselves. All the pair by pair up 10, back pack united and all the shouting during training. Will that bring us closer to a win? It is now time to perform and achieve. Its not only about how fit we are, but how hungry we are in winning. Let this race be one you will remember. One that you did your best with your fellow rowers.
In this race, I want to you to see yourself as the greatest enemy. It's not your competitors but it's your own limits, your own mindsets, your own laziness. So in this race, whether we win or lose in the race, it doesn't really matter coz if we leave the race overcoming ourselves, we would have already won. We win in our studies, our work, our personal life, our dreams and many more!
5. Pre-Race preparations
The day before the race, is very important. You are to get sufficient rest and to keep your focus clear. During the day before race, run through your mind all our race strategies. From the 10,20,10 hard to maintenance, regular hard 10 and finally to the charge. Run through your mind how it feels, what it takes and overcome the race in your mind first. Keep rehearsing until it's in you because during the race, there is no way you are able to hear the timings and there will be lots of distraction!
Alright guys, all the best to our coming race and it's an honour once again to row with you all in this race!
Feel free to contact me if anything.
