i completed time trials faster than i did before in the first time trial. This improvement will lead me into a stronger canoeist and put in more effort to achieve that goal. Still i want to improve my strokes and twisties. Instead of pulling the paddle i followed coach instruction to push the top of the paddle to use lesser strength

# data[].attributes.body
During CCA, I completed the 500m time trials withing 2 minutes and 45 seconds. I was really happy that I improved by 13 seconds as my timing was 2 minutes and 58 seconds during ACA training. The next time, I will try to do even better and put in more strength and improve my technique to complete the sprint with 2 minutes and 15 seconds

# data[].attributes.body
From these past 2 weeks i have noticed a lot of improvement on my timings, technique and pace! I have been practicing my JK1 technique and have been seeing positive results of my hard work. However, one way i feel that i can improve on is by going for more personal trainings like running. So that i can improve my stamina as i noticed that my stamina is not as good as the others which makes me worry a lot. I noticed that my leg drive is stronger now and i have been able to keep up with my own and other's pace without stopping. I am glad that my pace and strength has improved a lot because of my efforts.

During Wednesday, we did our time trials and I managed to improve my timing but I feel that My paddling is still not efficient enough and there is still room for improvement. During Friday, I tried out the k4 with Jayden kurian, ee wern and eshan and I felt very bad as I was having panic attacks while paddling and caused us to slow down but it was still a good experience for me as I never tried a four person boat before.

# data[].attributes.body
I did the trials and paddle as fast as possible

# data[].attributes.body
I did the time trials on friday but unfortunately, i did not finish as i capsized when the race started. I will work to improve on my speed and try bettter the next time.

# data[].attributes.body
On Friday took the k2 boat with delvyn, At first we had a rocky start but eventually we got the hang of it. We did what we sought out to do which was improving our speed while being balance. We improve a lot till delvyn wanted to go to 1000m/1km , at first I wasn't hesitant as I didn't wanted to risk capsizing at 1km and forcing everyone to wait . couldn't really do anything as we were already half way there so I decided to just push on. Next canoeing session I want to train to be even faster without struggling in balancing

# data[].attributes.body
on wed we did time trials and in the end i came in last. however the timing was 4min 30sec(??), ard thr. i was quite surprised actually with the timing. even though i was last im still happy with my timing even though i definitely can do better.

# data[].attributes.body
this friday we did 500m time trials and I’m proud of my timing because I got 3m 16s which is a 24s improvement from the last time I did my 500m time trials . I think I could have gotten 3m if I improved my technique by not only using arm strength and doing my rotations properly . I think I could also do better if I didnt sprint at the start then slow down at the end instead I should keep at a constant pace and sprint at the end .

# data[].attributes.body
During CCA on Friday, we did another time trial and my timing improved a lot, since NSG last year, my 500m timing was 4 minutes plus, and now my timing is 2.54 minutes. Although I know that the timing can be improved a lot more if I train harder and not waste too much time talking and taking out boats. I hope that my timing for NSG can be below 2.45 minutes.

# data[].attributes.body
Nothing really happened on Wednesday - had to take a JK2 with James, who has zero experience sitting on such an advanced boat and was unable to balance in it; kept capsizing and had to empty the boat multiple times. After the session, my arms were terribly sore and painful.

However, on Friday, it was much more interesting and pleasant. Did a time trial and got third place - clocking in at 3 minutes and 31 seconds - just behind Akid.

While waiting for the others, I exited my boat and enjoyed my relaxing, cooling break at the shore, with Nicholas and Jayden Lo.

Afterwards, we had an unofficial race with Jiun Hern and Jayden Chan, who unfortunately capsized before they can start their trials.

However, by the time we started our race, it was too late and the rest had already started to pack up. Not to mention, one of us had also capsized while racing and was desperate to go back to the platoon to empty his boat.

To further add fire to the fuel, Nicholas, who was very exhausted now, had capsized midway when we were paddling to the 500m and got his boat drifted away by the wind.

We had to manoeuvre our boats in such a way to push his boat back to him. When we all get back to the shore, everyone else had already kept their boats and were waiting for us to come back.

However, it was definitely one of the most fun sessions I had in a while; this experience that I am holding will be forever remembered as one of the best CCA sessions I have ever had.

Learning-wise, I think I could have definitely used more energy during the trial, as I wasn’t panting or perspiring much. I hope that I can find more effective ways to paddle so that I can finish races faster.

# data[].attributes.body
During the time trials from last Friday's CCA session, my timing was 3:29 min and won second place. Despite winning second place, I wasn't really satisfied because my arms got tired easily during the race, so I would want to improve on my arm strength to participate in the upcoming NSG.

# data[].attributes.body
Im pretty sad i missed Wednesday session as i had a second chance to do a proper time trials for 500m in the k1 but it happens. I also tried the k4 with Ee Wern, Rico, and Eshan which was interesting. Even though we capped im sure we all will put in the effort to make sure it wont happen again and try to win a medal. Also goal setting is important for example my goal is to continue to beat Eshan. Jokes i hope to hit a 2.15 for the 500m k1 and a sub 5min for the 1000m in the k1 too.

# data[].attributes.body
On Friday,Joel and I took the k2.At first,we were quite unbalance and could not coordinate well.However,we quickly got used to it and paddled quicker and further than ever before.At some point of time,I decided to see how far i can push joel and myself.However,I didn't consider Joel's own thoughts and feeling and shortly we came into an argument.Only after we packed everything up then did our heads cool down and we apologise to one another.In the future,I hope to continue to improve on my stability and my speed on the k boat.

# data[].attributes.body
During CCA on Friday I managed to complete my time trial within  3min and 12 sec.but,I think I can paddle much faster as I was not prepared for it and I was also not used to using the black paddle.

# data[].attributes.body
During cca on Friday, I did my first time trials in the KAPE JK1 and was quite impressed with my timing. It was also the first time I used the black paddle, since it was my first time, I was quite unfamiliar with it but I'm sure with many more weeks or practice I will be able to improve on my stamina and timing.

# data[].attributes.body
I barely paddled during the last few sessions so I want to try to paddle more as well as get a better time for 500m

# data[].attributes.body
we did time trial and my timing improved a lot. from 4.12mins to 3.13mins. i’m proud of that. i hope to be able to decrease the timing more.  and also hope that during the next trg, we will all improve and have fun too

# data[].attributes.body
during cca on fri,, i managed to improve my timetrial 500m timing to 2min 54s!! im vry proud of it,, bt im sure i cn still improve it. my goal timing is 230,, so i’ll make sure to train harder during cca,, and aca to beat my goal timing

# data[].attributes.body
I am very glad that I have improved my 500m timing by alot.My K2 with the jayden kurian also has improved.I tried the K4 today and it was very fun and cool.Although the k4 was fun, I still had difficulties in it and I hope to improve greatly so that I can win.By setting goals for myself such as making sure I can beat jayden is a great way to motivate myself further.I HOPE THAT EVERYONE CAN WORK HARD SO THAT WE CAN WIN MEDALS FOR EVERY RACE!!!

# data[].attributes.body
Today I did my time trials in a KAPE JK 1. I managed to not capsize during the time trials and got 5th place. However, after going for a second round, halfway I capsized because the boat couldn't move straight so I had to use a lot of force to maneuver the boat. I swam to the plontoon and struggled to get up. My boat drifted away. Luckily, Jayden Chan, Juin Hern, Jayden Loh and Nathan helped me to retrieve the boat by working together to push the boat to me. I want to improve on paddling straight and staying in place in the middle of the reservoir.

I managed to teach my partner how to balance on the JK2! I am very proud of myself as I used to be the one needing help and now I can return the favour! I also helped my partner with spreading butter. I saved my partner a few times from capsizing. We practiced synchronisation by saying left right and my partner echoing me. We capsized one time and swam back to shore. I crammed my leg in the process, but I made it back safely! I taught my partner how to bring the boat to shore as he kept pushing and pulling and going nowhere. In the end I managed to teach him how to swim back to shore with the boat. Today was definitely a special day for me. Next week, with a new partner, I want to be able to go 8km and practice twisting and turning. I'll make sure I don't capsize for the whole lesson ( my goal )

# data[].attributes.body
I spent a little less energy this week since I had just recovered from a cough.
I did 6000m and 7500m on the two sessions respectively. Though it was just about the same as last week, it was more interesting since I took a KAPE JK1 to paddle. My speed also increased and tested my balance in a boat I have rarely tried. Overall, I think I have did well and will continue to do the best that I can.

# data[].attributes.body
Last training i was paddling with akid on a jk2 we were not that great as sometimes my timing would be late or our paddles hit each other. The next session i hope that we will be more sync after experience and more stable, i also dropped two boats and i will not carry two boats at once again.

# data[].attributes.body
Last week, Damien and I paddled in the Kape JK2. We did 5.5Km and paddled a little extra. I think that i could improve on my stamina as i got very tired easily. I could also work on my form as I could not coordinate my legs with my body whilst paddling. Overall I am happy with my effort but i can definitely get way better. I hope to achieve at least 6Km next week.

# data[].attributes.body
Today’s training was a little relaxed. I tried a new boat and was quite surprised that I could balance. Although I did capsize 1 or 2 times, I still tried to minimise the time spent on emptying the boat. I hope that on Friday’s training I can paddle without capsizing!

# data[].attributes.body
I did everything quite fast. I can improve on paddling more distances. I want to improve my speed. I can help more. I did not damage anything.

# data[].attributes.body
last week i paddled in a jk2 with jayden and we got further than usual so thats good ig. i feel like e need to work on balancing and coordination so we dont capsize so easily

# data[].attributes.body
Last week I paddled in the JK2 with aston we paddled further than usual but not far. We need to improve on paddling at the same time and balancing.

# data[].attributes.body
I did not pack up or change clothes slowly. I can improve on paddling faster.

# data[].attributes.body
i want to improve on my k1 in general. hopefully i can be confident enough to volunteer for nsg before it starts🤞🏻i also lost a seat last year and felt quite bad cause the replacement was expensive. sorry again mr tan 😞

# data[].attributes.body
i want to improve on my balancing in k1. i am still capsizing so i would like to be stable in it in the next few sessions. I will train harder to make myself more stable in a k1, and also faster. I also want to make my speed faster, from 14 mins to 12 mins.

# data[].attributes.body
During training, I felt that that my paddling has improved as I managed to rotate my body further and I felt more stable on the k1 hence letting me paddle faster and more efficiently but I feel that I can improve more on my stability as there are times where I start to shake and lose my balance

# data[].attributes.body
I felt like I improve a lot last week compare to the last few lesson. I became more stable at the k2 then I ever was , delyvn was a great partner for the k2 boat as he was more stabile and calm compared to my previous boat partner(sorry Ee Wern).Even though we did not hit the 5km milage , I think I improve base a stability of the k2 boat(that I was not good at) .I can say that I have not broken anything thus far. I think that with more practice with delyvn on our speed(while being balance)we would be able to become better.

# data[].attributes.body
last week i used the school jk2 with goureeja, it was really fun and interesting to try out that boat as it was harder than the kape jk2.  i also taught goureeja how to ride wash others, so that when other people are in front of us they will help us to cut the water when we follow behind. even though we capsized two times it was very enjoyable paddling together with goureeja. i feel like i should have been a bit more mindful about my speed, and it was mostly my fault for the boat capsizing as goureeja was not able to catch up with my pace, in the future i will be more mindful of others.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to improve by paddling higher distances each session. I usually paddle 12 times around the red thing. I would want to paddle more rounds around that thing. I aim to paddle more rounds around it 5 more times each session. I dont know if any equipments are damaged. Thank you for reading this. Goodbye

# data[].attributes.body
I i have improved as in balancing on the JK2 compared to the last few CCA trainings. I paddle beter and capsized less often. And my distance travelled is also further compared to last few CCA trainings but there is still some improvements i need to work on and  my mileage and stamina more.

# data[].attributes.body
on wednesday i took k2 boat with yusrina. i found that we are quite stable as we managed to go to 500m. unfortunately the first boat we took, the rudder could not turn to the right. and so we had to manually do it which was very tiring for a k2 boat. we went a few rounds of 250m but decided to go back to the shore to change to another k2. luckily for us the juniors were kind enough to switch boats with us since they were resting. after switching we went to 500m and back but it was time to pack up. i learn that we should check the boats properly before setting off to lessen the waste of time. (nvr come on fri so i talk abt wed)

# data[].attributes.body
i feel like i did do my best in the last cca session. we took the school jk2 with kae-ann and i wasn't very stable in it. i was very scared that i would capsize which would be very troublesome ( we capsized twice, both were lowkey my fault cos i couldn't balance well ). since kae-ann goes to the canoe academy and she has more knowledge about paddling and conserving energy, i did learn many things like how to go fast without using much energy. i wish to work on that. for the upcoming cca sessions, i hope to improve on my balancing skills, stamina for paddling and pt. i would also challenge myself to do proper twisting without capsizing while going to 500m.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to improve on my balancing. I can’t balance rlly well although my speed is there. I’m not very stable which will automatically make me less confident. So I should train harder and not give up, so that I can improve on my balancing.

# data[].attributes.body
i did not damage any equipment. When i tried jk1, i realized that jk1 is way easier than tk1. When i used jk1 i finally got on and paddled out for the first time in months since they removed the gray platform. cca is fun if i can paddle out and not be stuck on shore for the entire session .

# data[].attributes.body
I realised I have improved as in balancing on the jk2 compared to the last few trainings. I paddle fast and capsized less often. And my distance travelled is also further compared to last few trainings but I still find there are still some improvements.I want to work on my mileage and stamina more.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like I did better than last week. I paddles faster and capsized less. I can improve on my distance and try to clock in more. I also want to improve on my balance so I can paddle faster without the worry of capsizing. I also can improve on my set up

# data[].attributes.body
I want to improve on my balance when turning and steering. I can do this by adjusting my posture to better balance on the jk2. I want to work on my twisting motions. I want to work on my synchronisation. I can do this by saying left, right and my partner will follow. I want to work on better milage.

# data[].attributes.body
I wish to improve my speed in the water and balance on more boats like the JK1. I would also like to try and keep my boat to move straight so that I wouldn’t cut into people’s lanes. I think I can improve on my paddling techniques so that I can go faster without spending a lot of energy. However, stamina-wise I think I did good since I was able to complete 5k on a T1. I also think that I did good in focusing myself to continue paddling no matter how tired I am. Overall, I feel happy about what I have accomplished, and I am ready to train on more challenging boats.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that even though me and Joel didn't meet the 5km milage,we still had fun and enjoyed the time spent together as we get to interact more than ever.Not only that,we also did not capsize our boat,not even once.(the part where we capsize near shore was voluntary and it was because of a stupid lizard and therefore not our fault and not included).so far,I can safely say that I have not broken anything thus far,I think and I feel that me and joel can and will be able to work better to improve our speed and stability.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to improve on my stamina and my strength as I realise I am using much more stamina when paddling.I would also like to reach 500m without capsizing on the jk2 with Neville and would also like to try improve my stability on the jk2.i will also try to keep fit to improve my stamina.

# data[].attributes.body
My boat movement was good this week could feel the hard water at the front well. Could always reach in front more by fully rotating the body. I can also pull my right leg on the footbar while twisting on the left side to engage my left leg more as i do not feel it as much as my right leg. I can also start bringing my right hand closer to my head and maintain a 90 degree angle. i hope to continue pushing myself and Eshan and that we will be the best k2 boat in NSG

# data[].attributes.body
Last friday I was in a jk2 with someone and went to 500m together and managed to complete the goal,however I would want to Improve on keeping a controlled and constant usage of strength throughout the canoeing and also aim to improve and work on my balance so that I can travel even further into the resevoir without capsizing

# data[].attributes.body
I did not attend the training for the past 1 week and will not be doing for for next week too, this is due to my Covid Vaccination. However, I do hope that when I return back for training the week after next, I will try my best to improve on my stamina during paddling. Additionally, I will definitely try to follow the advice given to me during past sessions from my seniors on how to better improve my paddling. I also aim to paddle to at least 1000m before turning instead of only going to 500m this is so as to clock as much mileage as possible. Also, I will try as much as possible to work on my physical training and keep myself fit and allow myself to paddle more without feeling tired easily. Lastly, during training sessions I will try to paddle to the best of my ability and not give up easily, this will allow myself to make every training session a great and meaningful one.

# data[].attributes.body
i think i improved this fri. rainer and i managed to coordinate well and surprisingly we looked cool(from juniors). this was one of the trg that we dh a issue in canoeing and everyone did well after coach dan talk to us. rainer and i managed to clock in around 4km to 6km, we can’t remember but yeah. rainer helped me to improve my technique as i’m tried to mirror her. hence this was my reflection of the week

# data[].attributes.body
During trainings, I would always get tired easily while paddling since my stamina is not really great. I want to improve on my stamina, arm strength and techniques so that I can paddle faster without using up all of my energy. I also want to improve on balancing on the JK1 and JK2 so that I can paddle with others without capsizing very often.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I paddled well last week.I felt that I have improved my strokes but there is still room for improvement.I hope that I can paddle more efficiently in my next trainings so as not to be as tired and paddle further.I hope that can bring out the boats and keep the all the boats way faster.I hope me and jayden will be the best k2 boat in NSG.I will improve my strokes next training

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to improve on my speed and stamina . I would also like to try my best to not capsize because I should’ve already mastered the jk1 . another improvement I could make would be to not takw my own sweet time changing because I’m usually one of the last few to reach the bus stop . I could also work better on not crashing my boat and not letting my radder hit the rocks . I think I did well last session because I didn’t slack . I should challenge myself more by practicing my sprinting .

# data[].attributes.body
During last week's training, i realised that i was not as stable on the K1 as i am in a JK1. I feel that i should try to improve my stability by putting in more effort into my leg drive and worry less about capsizing. I was able to improve my balance and leg drive on the K1, making me more stable. On Friday, i tried a TK1 (teamboat) with Yusrina for the first time and i felt that we were able to coordinate well together. Although we were not able to complete our desired mileage, our technique and leg drive improved well. Therefore, how i feel that i can improve better overall in my canoeing experience + technique, is by focusing more on the coordination and strength of the leg drive. Trying to clock in as much mileage as i can is also another step i can take to meet the average mileage. I will start training personally to improve my stamina.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to improve on my stamina and strength usage. I find myself using alot of energy doing my strokes and feel strain in my arms most of the time. Another point i want to improve to help that is work on my twisties, this will help me with using lesser strength so i can put in my 100% more easily. I feel that i have been quite consistent with my distance clocked and attendance. I'm decently happy with it but i want to push myself and do more.
