My FYP phd sup seems to have disappeared........ Along with the program code I need to actually break 0% progress for my FYP.

I paddled in a T1 today, in full force fueled by angst. It's really quite a different game from K1. The posture I adopted and stroke I used seemed different. The kicking motion was actually reduced due to the size and position of the footboard. The stroke was slowed down considerably due to the slower speed of the T1, but yet allowed for easier application of force because the boat was so stable. Well, the boat actually rocked a lot from stroke to stroke, but its stability made it OK. Ts glide on the water, vs how Ks tend to be semi submerged and cut through it. I think there was a more noticeable difference based on water conditions. Strong waves were harder to penetrate on the T1, but its stability allowed proper application of force.

Only bummer now is where to squeeze that foot pump.

The stakes are too high.
I can't wait for this to be over.

I have become dysfunctional again. Shit.
