honestly ppl, for all my talk that 'anything can happen', i didn't dare believe it until the past two days. the turning point came when we were halfway through the 1k heats - while the 2 acsi pairs were charging ahead, i looked right expecting to see hci creeping up on us and instead saw nobody at all - it was like 'hey! we're actually going to qualify!' even after that, after the semis which we thought we got owned in, getting into a final, even the C final, came as another a shock to us.

so it's true guys, anything at all can happen between the sound of the horn and crossing the line, and that anything includes winning. you know that pause between 'start within 10 secs' and the horn? it's pregnant with possibility =D

well the medal didn't come our way, but we can understand why - it's like how jiaolian said that how we raced pretty much reflected how we normally did during training. we know our weaknesses, and we have plans to correct them =p

that said, well done everyone =D marcus especially, for his epic k1 final in the driving rain.

all the way guys!
