Post Race Reflection

2011-07-22T09:54:00.002+08:00

J have taken notes of the post-race briefings. Many things were shared. Some are new while others are thoughts we have shared and heard before.

In summary, here are some of the pertinent points raised concerning this race. I have decided to categorise them according to 3S framework (which was adopted from coach's philosophy of the SRS: Skill, Relationship, Spiritual) Let's learn from them and do what we can do sharpen our competitive edge as forge ahead for subsequent races.

a. Skills
Two important things, technique and good water sense. This first is covered by coach throughout the year: forceful upper hand drive, efficient engagement of big muscle group through twisting and effective stroking (the appropriate angle of our paddle's shaft/blade, silent entry, forward reach... etc.).

However, remember also GOOD WATER SENSE.
As Siew Le mentioned, we need to feel that maximum water catch. (Coach always says, FEEL THE RESISTANCE). She drew the analogy of a canoeist exerting pressure in the water (NOT kayaker hor...different!)

b. Stamina and Fitness
The bottom line is: water mileage, as noted by Travis. Nothing can replace this. In my private conversation with coach, he observed that for the two days, our bodies gave way at the last charge because our stamina is not quite 'there' for this race. Our cardiovascular fitness will determine how much farther and longer WE CAN GO with the amount of force WE HAVE that WE WILL EXERT.

Circuit training is very crucial for this. Ergo is another key element to stamina building. Eugene emphasises the importance of maintaining MAXIMUM average wattage (achieving a fast timing for scoring purpose is 2nd priority). Use this feedback. Rethink ergo. It is your training partner.

Remember, training your heart and lungs is an equally important aspect of training focus. Ergo, ergo, ergo...! Run, run, run...!

c. Social: Team Synergy
We are more composed than we usually are (I prefer staying 'composed' to 'calm'). That's good. There are four additional key areas discussed requiring our deep reflection:

i. Application of force Samantha ('Lao Sam') said, "one plus one does not equal to two equal rowers. The force is multiplied." Everyone, let's not just pull your own weight, let's pull the darn weight of the WHOLE BOAT forward!

ii. Aggression/ Mental Grit
Remain composed we must (Wei Quan) but we must keep our aggression. It's pure mental grit to will ourselves to behave like a composed warrior, ready to strike at the earliest sign given. The horn! When, it blows, BE FEROCIOUS. Siew Le gave a sobering reminder, "if we adopt a weak, unfocussed, uncertain body posture, we are empowering our opponents to defeat us." Hey, that's NOT the PLK way.

iii. Echo
We have improved. We have consistently called out, "3-2-1, LOOONG PUUUULL". We have learnt. Good. However, we need to do better in all the other planned echoes. Our war cries sounded meek and sometimes, uncoordinated, especially when the coxswain shouted, "Ready for HARD 10!!!".

For a 20-crew boat especially, ECHOING is crucial. Voices get drowned. Volume reduced. Uncertainty may ensue. Hence, it is incumbent that we keep our team synergy even if it means we echo the calls issued in the boat. In such an intense, moment, a resounding and uniform echo IS VERY REASSURING. It will egg you on. This is the team synergy in the boat that we seek. We must do it with utmost diligence EVEN DURING OUR TRAINING.

iv. Team Support
Another more accurate, preferred term is team discipline. We have fared well for this, generally. We are accountable to our fellow paddlers in the water in more ways than one. Let's continue doing a good job not just acknowledging them their input but also encouraging to surpass their limits. Maintain good team collegiality. We have worked very hard to achieve this.

Good relationship and good team synergy requires diligence reciprocal effort!

Pat yourself on the back. Good race results does not occur overnight. It took us 4 years to gethere, with Coach's careful guidance and the previous team leader's dedication and meticulous administration.

These are milestones in PLK's paddling history. Now that we know how far we have treaded, keep the bounce in your gait and move forward to chart new growth.

Thank You Team PLK

2011-07-22T09:46:00.001+08:00

Dear Team,

This is the 4th year PLK Paddlers has taken part in Singapore Dragon Boat Festival. In 2008,our team was merely a young fledgling group of rowing enthusiasts. Fast forward 4 years, in 2011, PLK has shown that it has grown in many ways.

As we entered new territories and chart new growth, the challenges abound have shown that others in our league are growing too and the stiff competition that we have been facing is not about to let up. But rest assured, I observe that our team is determined to stay with the best!

But, we must know what the best thing to do is in order to be amongst the best AND we must unwaveringly seek out stronger opponents go where no other CSC teams dare go to set new benchmark.

SDBF 2011 race provides ample lessons that we must quickly learn from to ensure sustained performance. But first, a thank you note to some key members of our team is in order.

Thank you

Coach
He's been there for the team always, egging us on, showing more faith in us than we dare dream ourselves. His unwavering commitment to the team is evident, a fact we must ponder over seriously.

Team Manager
Din Wang for clearing numerous administrative work to register the team. I think, Evelyn invaluable help to support her for the online registration must be acknowledged too.

Food People (dunno what else to call them :p)
Din coordinated a group of willing members to ensure we don't go hungry for the two days we are at BR. These are those who deserve our thanks: Reza, Hasbi, Riven, Wen Yi, Joerg, Seng Chye, Sindy Cai, Gavin Tang, Sheila, Farhan, Zhi Hao, Jeff, Ming Wei and Evelyn

Boat Captains
I personally would like to thank Reza, Hasbi, Ong Zhi Hao, Travis Goh and Sindi Cai who were willing to step forward and step up to undertake the role as Boat Captains. The led the team to ensure that everyone stay together, get a proper warm up and warm down.

If I have missed out any names, I sincerely apologise.

Let's get ready for the next race next week.

Regards,
Team Captains

PUMA - A big Thank You from PLK Paddlers

PUMA X PLK Paddlers - Results for the 2011 Taipei International Race

2011-06-06T17:26:00.011+08:00

1^st time in Taipei, PLK Paddlers competed with 37 other teams for Dragonboat Men’s Open at the annual Taipei International Dragonboat Festival held at Happy Summer Paradise Waterfront.

The 26 pax team consisting of only 6 with overseas race experience and 8 with less than a year rowing experience competed fiercely in the races and managed to clinch the 5^th place. 1^st place goes to Taipei's National Team, Wan Neng Technological University.

万能科技大学 2.57

义泳男子龙舟队 3.05.35

兰屿飞鱼龙舟队3.05.95

阿美青年体育文化发展协会3.07.88

PLK Paddlers Singapore 3.19.60

欧玛富士3.26.11

三脚渡龙舟队3.26.35

大东屋鳗鱼料理A队3.26.95

see the video here (PLK on 2.06)

See Final Video

It was no easy task for the PLK team as they had no rowing experience in the Taipei-style race, something they are not familiar with as to the IDBF rules and regulations.

The PLK team did very well despite all the unfamiliar conditions, strong current and temperature going as high as 35 degree Celsius. Though they did not set any record in the race, they had indeed build the team's name in Taipei emerging first in the heats and the minor finals.

Though getting 5th Place, this will not be the last time Taipei sees them, they will be back next year, Stronger, Tougher, and Faster.

YES we are recruiting! PLK PADDLERS is looking for dynamic team players to join us in our quest for excellence. Click the poster below for more details!

A New Beginning

2011-03-23T11:01:00.008+08:00

Dear all,

A few months ago, our accounts were hacked. Police investigations have concluded and we now know the identity of the perpetrator. Necessary actions will be taken against him.

A new website is under development as we speak. Some information on this blog is quite dated, because we had to keep the account status quo to aid in the hacking investigations.

Notwithstanding, PLK PADDLERS never falter in the face of difficulties. We have done well in the recently concluded MR 500, 2011, beating worthy opponents to come in 2nd in the Premier Open Minor Finals. The Girls also did us proud by clinching 1st in the Premier Womens Minor Finals.

Paddlers who are interested to join us or find out more about our team can leave us an email at plkdragonboat@gmail.com

Yours sincerely,

PLK PADDLERS Administrator

Quote Of The Day - 04/10/10

2010-10-12T00:31:00.000+08:00

"In every sport there comes a moment when a spell of bitter weeping seems like a fair recess from whatever tough work is going on.
It is only the steeliest among us who can fight the urge to turn negative -
who instead will make contact and redouble her efforts.
Call it grace under pressure. Call it grit...call it excellence."
- Susan Casey, editor (Sports Illustrated)
