Just so you know

WE MADE HISTORY

I didn't win anything. But no 'what-if's, I won't allow that. Could have managed direction better, but I thought it was a good shot.
When my seniors and teammates lifted their trophies, I thought my heart would burst with pride although it wasn't my hour, ain't it funny?
Cheered my heart out and screamed my throat hoarse as everyone crossed the finishing line.
We are all fired up. Training resumes in a week, and I can't wait.
Heard some gripes after everything was over, but I think they were uncalled for. It may seem as if you deserve what you didn't get. Don't forget that this year is only your first, some of your competitors have been around for at least a year more. On water, not everyone gave their all every instant. Training was so frequent the last few weeks it sometimes seems as if my canoe career so far has centred on those few sessions. But what took place the months before matter too, and I won't ever forget that.

Victory's all the sweeter cos we were the underdogs. And we'll never settle for anything less. Ever
