2. Pls plan your own meals and make sure you eat/drink enough. If you want, there will be food stalls on the race site but don't expect proper food. So if you want to have a proper meal and ready for the race, pls plan for it.
3. Pls be responsible for your own belongings. On that day we will consolidate the things and put together, and probably we will have to help look after each other's belongings. Don't leave your stuffs lying around. There won't be locker facilities on that day.
4. All races where there are heats, will select the top 2 teams and the fastest 3rd position team from all the heats to proceed to semi-finals.
5. All semi-finals and finals and our Tnet Category races will be held on 25th April Sunday. We won't know the timing of the Sunday events until Saturday night itself. The team will be informed by Suyuan through SMS.
6. All rowers are to wear the black team jersey + compression top (for those who have) on Saturday & Sunday. All rowers who don't have the black jersey will receive one. All rowers who have but never bring will have to borrow from those who have for their event.
7. All rowers who ordered the blue jersey but haven't pay the $8 are to bring on race day before you can get your jersey.

Ok, pls come back to this blog on Friday night for any final final updates k?? If not, pls be mentally and physically prepared for the race. Remember, now it's not the time to think about anything else except focusing on finishing STRONG. It's the moral and the spirit that's important, not just about winning. Let's have a wonderful race!

Cheers!
