Blessed, honored, humbled, and empowered - just four of the things I feel 2 1/2 months after joining the Philippine Dragonboat Rowing Team (PDRT) Fireblades. No one (and I mean NO ONE) expected I can do this. Some people even said di na akobabalik, that I won't survive and just quit. But I didn't and I don't see it that way.I've come from being a mere supporter on the sidelines, to a dead weight on the banca, to someone who endures and frisk away muscle soreness and pain, to a force to be reckoned with. Chos.
1 local race, 1 international race (where we bagged 1 Gold and 3 3rd runner up places) under my belt, and the Philippine National Games to champion next month, kaya square ang blade, twist, reach, power entry, quick pull, j-shape, bangon, taas recovery, baon, etc. pa. Keep calm and paddle (pero if you know me + as evidenced by this picture, hindi ka kaya maka-kalma)!
