Sydney Road Trip: Coogee
The last few weeks have been hectic. After finishing another
10-day camp in Canberra, the Vic Tiger girls and I headed to Sydney. Arrived in
the dazzling Coogee. WOW! Beautiful spot, glad to be spending the next week and
a half here. Will have 8 games (plus a little bit of training) during that
time, but well worth it! With training being hell, it’s great to have a
fantastic view and a little salt water (especially after all the chlorine!!) to
get your mind off your aching body.
4 Games, 4 wins. Great result. Tigers started slow, but we
were able to get our groove back and came together as a team. I have gathered a
new collection of scratches and bruises to add to my already numerous scars,
plus had 2 swimmers ripped!
I decided not to head back to my temporary home in
Melbourne, but rather stay in Sydney for the 3 days between road trips to catch
up with some friends and family. The last few days have been great. It’s been busy,
but in a good way. Training with the NSWIS girls has been good and I've had some well needed catch-ups.
After a few lighter days of training, I will be meeting back
up with the Tigers in Coogee for another 4 games. As the end of the National
league regular season is coming to an end and finals just around the corner.... things are
getting very exciting!
