It was an exhilarating race. We came so close. We lost to the 2nd team by a fraction of a second and came in third, and lost the chance to get into finals. That also meant we missed our target of being in the top ten teams (in terms of timing) in our category.
A split second difference. If only we row just a little bit harder. Just one stroke harder.
Someone dubbed it the stroke of regret.
And so, our coach punished us with 1000 push-ups.
In spite of that, I am still proud of the team. For we made really made a marked improvement. We are now confident of achieving better and we will aim higher next round.
