Losing to the best

There are 2 kinds of losers. Those who come in second but are damn pissed with themselves for losing the gold, and those who get the silver but are happy for those who came in first.

June 2005, NTU won the IVP race with a whopping 7 seconds lead, i dare say it's probably the the largest win in recent years. We got the silver. We didn't do badly, everything went smoothly and it was a great race set for us, it was just too bad that there was someone better in the field. I remember being happy for NTU as they took the gold, coz with such a convincing win, you know you've competed with and lost to the best and that they deserve every bit of the medal.

Despite the fact that I've always heard rumours about what NTU have been saying about us, I've always had great respect for the NTU girls. Mostly coz they carry themselves very well and as fellow competitors in the field, they always put up a good race.

This picture must be the first in dragonboat history.
