Your lovely captain who is coming back soon to screw all of us over would like me to inform everybody that Saturday's training will be at 2pm because of the OSIM triathlon in the morning.

Whoopee for your sleepytimes.

o.O

training....not.

Just a friendly little reminder that there is no land training tomorrow. or the week after. or until your exams are over. (which is just as well, really, seeing as i'm kinda bedridden... writing this post off my tablet pc. Handy little gadget, this. :D)

So remember kids, take good care of yourselves if you don''t wanna end up like me. :(

Hydrate yourselves properly...todays weather was.... ugh.

and don't forget... when you wash your bodies wash your hands too ;)

P.S.(just cuz there is no training tmr due to exams and stuff doesn't mean you don't turn up for saturday or sunday. pull that excuse, and i'll shove ZK's paddle up where the sun don't shine.)

As some of you have been informed already during training today, training will be cut down to 3 times a week starting this coming monday. So it'll technically be only on Mon, Fri and Sat.

Obviously some of you freshies were not around when I made this announcement or you werent listening to me hence the tag on the board. 3 times a week i believe is totally managable since its only at the beginning and end of the week.

I've been monitoring yr attendence and some of you guys are doing a pretty impressive job of skipping training and turning up once a week. Seriously, dont waste your time and the seniors time if you're only training once a week. We want to train team mates that are passionate and ready to sacrifice 2-3 hours on weekdays to improve their strength and fitness. If you're not one of them, just give me an sms telling me that you dont want to train with us anymore.

Seniors, like I've mentioned, Invites are only 4 months away. I do hope that you still have the same goal in mind as you had at the beginning of the year and that is to win. Coach's debrief today was a wake up call for some of us and we need to pull up our socks and get our butts in the boat 5 times a week if we want that shiny cookie and recognition.

I KNOW that all of you can make time for personal training 1 hour a day IF YOU WANT TO. I know it because i have seen you all do so. Think about your priorities and try to plan and manage your time well.

Of course, I'm not saying that you shld be neglecting your studies. They are the most impt, but 1 hour a day perfecting your technique and increasing your strength inst gnna kill you, its just gna give you a healthy lifestyle. For those days that you gym...try and replace them with rowing ok?

Just something that I cropped out from another poly's kayaking blog:

"Last year we lost the overall woman champion by 1 point and this 1 point can be salvage by anyone of you here be it are you participating this year IVP or not ultimately in the long run this team needs you and you need the team . Our girls team have always been strong this time and last year was just a trip. This trip is a blessing in disguise. This trip has led us to realize that other schools have raise their bench sometimes is this trip that will prevent a fall.

Same goes for the overall man champion we will kick asses this year !!"

Those other schools...Its obvious that its us right? And are we going to let them kick our asses this year? I sure hope thats not your dream cause its not mine.

Wake up and start thinking about winning, cause everyones got the same thought, its just a matter of who will do it. That's me, and I sure hope that's each and every one of you as well.

Friday Water Training details:

• Water training only

Sleep early & rest well.

Wednesday training details....

I must be overtired. I actually misspelled 'Wednesday' for a moment there.

Anyway...

Wed, 6.30pm

Sports Complex

Bring your running shoes, as usual

And....

Don't eat heavily. ;)

*insert evil smile here*

And for those who've been a tad M.I.A recently...... please do turn up. Or else....

*even more evil smile here*

=D

Oh, and and for those who haven't sent me your details, yet...

Would you kindly Please do so, NOW. (refer to Yi Hsiang's love letter.)

thankyew.

Oops, one last update..

Please bring $5 for the bi-monthly canoe fund. The earlier collection was April's, and now its July's. The fund will go towards general purposes such as paying poor Yan Ling ah ma for buying bread for the team, and for buying tape to make our weights, which seem to keep mysteriously disappearing....

Please update the rest about this edit. I forgot to write it just now.

Monday training details:

Pool, 6.30

You don't need me to tell you to bring the usuals. =)

(Oh and for God sakes... feed yourselves first, but not right before training. If you happen to end at 6 exactly, grab a small bite before coming, but don't start swimming right away. We'll understand if you tell us. :D )

Oh, and on an irrelavant tangent, Barney's singlets are can't be included in the vote for the racing singlet because its inappropriate for competitions. Just imagine going down for a serious race dressed in that.

However, I've saved both of them into consideration for our casual team T-shirt, to be worn outside of trainings. THAT, we can make a funny out of. The designs are awesome, you should transfer to Apparel Design right now, lawyer...

Team, there's a few singlet designs up for you to choose. Please state either 1,2 or 3 on the tag board and help inform the rest to vote as well. I'll try to keep the budget to below $25 plus the singlet is Adidas man! Good material.

You can click on the link to enlarge the picture.

Please vote by Sunday night!!!

Thanks,
Sam


P.S. For the 2 below, the blue lines are just outlines of singlet sizes. They wont be in the printing.
with the Temasek Polytechnic beside the logo.

Edit by Josh:

Here's another.

Combining the best aspects of each, is better than choosing just one...

The Print behind will be of a higher resolution once it's properly done, here's the rough sketch.

This Saturday water training:

• Report at the club at 10.30am SHARP
  
• Bring your water bottle and sunblock items
• Do not bring shoes

Randall

Reminder, training tomorrow 4pm at club. Bring your running shoes along as well.

Finally water training after 1 week! Put your 1 star skills to good use yes! Its time to buff up cause every single one of you is a Temasek Kayaker from now on. Be proud of it, be proud of your team. Other sports teams are starting to sit up and taking note of us.

Team Temasek shirts will be out hopefully in August and the seniors are in the midst of getting this years Team singlet design out and ready for all Temasek Kayakers to wear! So show me that you deserve to don our shirt and singlet alright!

Some of you are starting to fall sick...not exactly the best time so please take care of your bodies, get plenty of sleep and drink lots of water. if I hear reports of any members falling sick, you guys gotta shave botak! Including senior team!

Hopefully I'll see you all next Monday during training. I've been missing the team!

Kok Wei will be leaving for SIP from next week and I wont be back till 1 August so as of 6 July, Wei Jie and Randall will be stepping in to help Bryan and Josh manage the team. Any queries can be directed to either 4 of them for the next 4 weeks.

Dont miss me too much!!!
Sam :))

Hey team, I'll like every single one of you to be at training on 11 of July. Thats the only time I'll get to meet up with everyone. So I expect full attendance.

Thanks,
Samantha
