HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

Okay so I’ve been trying to keep up with the workouts but have definitely been struggling with my crazy schedule. I also joined a club team in DC so I’ve been practicing with them twice a week and have made new rugby friends, yay! I actually reconnected with a friend from high school who I used to play field hockey with and now we play rugby together!  And one girl from GW said she had seen the fundraising video we made for nationals, which was pretty cool.  We play 7s which is hard because I was only juuuust getting used to 15s, so it has definitely been different—I play as a prop if that’s any indication of how weird it is J 

Also, I’m playing in my first 7s tournament this weekend! I’m super excited but also nervous!!  During practice we run lines and work on tackling a lot, so I’m glad it’s helping me improve my ball handling skills which are pretty atrocious!! And sometimes we’ll do fitness too—the other day we did this thing which was like death flop on steroids! We had to start in pushup position, sprint ten yards, pick up a rugby ball in good profile position, sprint 10 more yards, do two burpies, sprint 10 yards back and drop the ball in good profile position, sprint 10 yards back again, do a pushup, and repeat! So we did that for one minute on/one minute off ten times. 

Well I think I’m going to try and get a lift in with my brother before the fourth of july festivities commence tonight, but I hope everyone is having a great summer and I miss you all!
