Small steps

It was the first time in 3 semesters we'd come in first. A sense of euphoria that was long awaited and way overdue. Though it was just the heats, it was small steps to a larger goal.

At the end of the Chinese Garden Races, we embarrassed ourselves by coxing the baby 4-seater boats into other lanes twice and once almost onto the shore. We didn't win any medals that day, but gained a whole new perspective on what we had to impove on. A month later, against all odds and expectations, we made a comeback and won the women's ivp (inter-varsity-polytechnic) gold.
