we kicked ass yesterday
placed 3rd in the first heat (<2 secs difference from the 1st team)
and 6th in the semi finals (but it was the fatest semi finals of the 3... i was also told we were leading at 2-3rd place up till 20 meters to the finish line, but didn't have enough endurance to "power up" till the end)
so all in we probably ranked top 10 in the expat-B men's division
not bad for a team who's only trained for 10 sessions with very different skill levels
was very pleased with how well we did. it felt awesome to give it your all and we were the best we've ever been
pushing thru to the finishing line... see how in synch our paddles were?? we're the second team from the bottom of the pix. i'm sitting on the left, fourth row from the front (you can kinda see me if you blow up the picture)
(source: International Herald Tribune) front page baby!!
i'm really going to miss our weekly training sessions .....

awesome. pure power. they should get your chink little arse into a nike commercial, you know that right? Then i'd have something to write about.
well done stel - I have always had a thing for action women ;-P
Great job... amazing how well you guys did after only 10 practices. Must have been the pitchers of Sangria and chicken wings after every practice. Wish I could've made it to join the fun!
