IVP was a blast. To be frank i was over joyed to obtain a silver for the k4 1000m race. Even greater joy when i found out that our girls team had achieved 1st out of all the other schools. Delighted and enjoying every single moment. However, what i thought was the most memorable moment was isn't the time when i won my medal, nor was it the moment when the girls were pronounced the overall champions. Instead, the most memorable moment was when the whole team got together to cheer on the girls k4, the last event of the day. I could feel sheer joy and excitement throughout the short span of 1 minute. With everyone shouting in unison just to over power the other school's cheers. At that moment, even though i was out of breath, i kept shouting and shouting. So did everyone else. That was when our spirit was at it's highest and that was when, i knew for sure, what a true team was all about.
Once again, congrats to our girls on their overall champion position and to the guys for just enduring throughout.
However, the road is never smooth. Months before, my dear partner told me news that shocked me, and many today. When he pulled me aside one training and told me that IVP would be his last race. I was stunned, in fact speechless! Here we have a person whom we all thought would never leave, and yet, i was hearing it. However, after today, it was all done. Shocked we were, and i have to say, i was really upset. Yet, i have to accept and respect his decision. I won't say much, however, i would like to thank you.
Thank you for the days you picked me up when i feel to my lowest. Thank you for always being a pillar of support. Thank you for always encouraging me when i gave up on myself. Thank you for entertaining the team with you unique sense of humor.
With this, i would like to say, "All the best with your future endeavours!"
Cheers bro!
