PNU (Pusan National University) Sports Science team’s Dragon Boat Overturned during Competition

The Sport of Dragon Boating


PNU (Pusan National University) Sports Science team’s Dragon Boat Overturned during Competition
 
In 2008, there was the 1st Dragon Boat Competition at the Yachting Center in Pusan. There were almost 30 teams participating from each university in Pusan. Most of the team members’ majors are related to sports.

I was attending Pusan National University, and majored in sports science. I participated with friends with the same major in this competition.

At that time, we had no idea what the Dragon Boat Competition was because it was very new for Korea. The competition was held to introduce dragon boats to people by the government. They simply introduced and taught about the dragon boats, and gave opportunities to practice for one day.
Furthermore, they also offered an expert cox for each team. The cox is the most important person in dragon boat racing because it is not that easy to control the boat and hard to learn it. However, I was working as a cox for water rafting for a year at that time, and my friends encouraged me to be a cox for our dragon boat. Eventually, I did cox, and we were way better than the other teams during practice. We were filled with ambition and enthusiasm.
We thought we are going to win at this moment ....

In game day, we were so excited to be racing because we had confidence to win. They even have price money for the winner. Our team was the only team have cox, not an expert one. At the start whistle, our boat go ahead. Number 3 boat is our boat!

However, we crusted with the other boat and eventually the boat turned over. A lot of people were watching it and it was really ashamed and embarrassed moment. And it was even more shameful when we read the news article about our boat and completion.
Even though, it lost the competition, we had so much fun and made unforgettable memory together.
Go PNU Sports Science!

Protein Supplement (GNC Pro Performance/EAS 100% Whey Protein/AllMax Nutrition: ZMA/ Protein Shot


 

I always had a sense of inferiority for my body because I am very small compared to others.

Since our school (CBU) has a new recreation center which is very new and nice, I started weight 

training to make my body healthier and bigger. My roommate bought a jump rope for me as a 

Christmas gift to exercise with and he helping me to workout.  He also gave me a protein supplement to help me to have a bigger body. I hope this will help my workout.

What is Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60™?
Looking for a protein that will help AMPlify your game? When it comes to enhancing your strength, size and stamina, nothing compliments your training regimen like Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60™!

The Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60™ Evolution
How is this protein AMPlified? GNC's scientists worked with leading exercise and sports nutrition experts and went beyond the extreme to develop this distinct product...


Highly Effective Whey-Leucine Base - The impressive 60 grams of protein is made entirely from the highest quality, fast-absorbing forms of whey protein - isolates and hydrolysates. With 7.7 grams of leucine, this creates an ideal environment for muscle protein synthesis. This potent blend upregulates multiple Genetic Signaling Pathways (GSP) to enhance anabolism and muscle performance.* In fact, the whey and leucine blend in Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60™ has been shown to increase muscle strength and stamina with half the sets.*


Micronized Amino Acids - Using MicroSorb™ Amino Technology, the amino acids added to this formula are pulverized, or "micronized" from large molecules into smaller particles to facilitate faster absorption. Why is that important? Better absorption of amino acids means better muscle fuel. These key amino acids support muscle building and recovery.*


Amino Acceleration System - This digestive enzyme blend is designed to accelerate the availability and absorption of amino acids to be efficiently used by the muscles.


More Key Aminos - In addition to a whopping 7.7 grams of leucine - this formula is loaded with an array of aminos necessary for your muscles. This complex blend of amino acids delivers 3.6 grams of arginine, which is involved in creatine synthesis, and over 10 grams of glutamine providing anabolic effects. The amino acid L-carnitine is included to help transform fatty acids into energy for muscles and the body's energy production system.*


The Proof is in the Protein - and then some...
This cutting-edge formula is scientifically engineered to AMPlify your game.

Grand Canyon Trip with Awesome International Students from Riverside/50 feet Cliff jump



I heard form BBC news that the Grand Canyon was selected as the 

#1 location that people say they must go visit before they die.

 My father always told me to visit there while I was in America. 

Then, last summer, I got an email from a Christian organization 

telling me they had a trip to the Grand Canyon for international 

students. 

I had previously known that organization through the CBU 

International Center. 

I had nothing to do during the summer break, and it sounded really 

fun to me to go there.

 I knew it might be a great chance to meet new friends from other 

schools. In addition, it was only $200 for 3 nights and 4 days,

 which included everything. I felt it was a really good deal for me. 

Finally, I decided to go. At that moment, there was nobody from 

CBU going on the trip, so I felt a little bit lonely. However, I met a 

lot of great people from UCR and RCC.


I was asleep most of time while we drove there. It took almost 7 

hours to get there, including the time we stopped and had lunch.


 

We finally arrived at the place we stayed. 

They had log cabins for us. It was not fancy or luxurious, but I 

really liked the place that matched with the nature. 



On the first night, we had a bonfire and had time to learn about the

 Grand Canyon.  At midnight, we hiked to see the stars. 



There were numerous stars in the sky. I saw some constellations, 

like the Milky Way, and also two shooting stars. It was really 

amazing to see that, and I was lost for words on how beautiful it

 was.



On the second day, we actually went to the Grand Canyon.

 We did not have much time to hike down very far, but it was 

really fun. The scenery was grandeur. I felt like we did not have 

enough time to hike, so I really want to come back. 


Next time, I want to hike more and enjoy the Grand Canyon.

On the third day, we went on a waterside excursion.

There were cliffs that people jumped off into the water.

These cliffs were 5, 30, and 50 feet tall. We first tried the 5 feet 

cliff, and after that, several people tried the 30 feet one.  

Eventually, I was the only person who tried the 50 feet cliff in our 

group. It was very scary, and I had never jumped from that height 

before, but I did it because I did not want to miss the chance. 

This is a video that my friend took for me.



On the last day morning, we had worship time together because it 

was Sunday. Worshipping at the Grand Canyon felt different. 



Before we headed back to Riverside, we cleaned the place where

 we stayed and came back.


 


This trip was one of the most memorable trips of my life. I had so

 much fun, had experiences, and made new friends.
