ERIN MILLS EAGLES & PEAKS OF EXHAUSTION 11th December 2011

We knew even before waking up this morning that today was going to be a tough day at the office. John and the staff did not disappoint us.

We started at the gymnasium with a tough lower body work, and then we had a second session in the afternoon. The weights were hard, as they always are when we push the need for explosive power, but nothing was overly taxing. The afternoon practice though was more than exhausting. It took us to the brink of peak exhaustion.

I was really impressed with how hard the team dug in and worked. I think that this session was made to test our performance and fitness limits, and they succeeded in their goal. They pushed us to exhaustion, but not a single player gave up an inch. I was very proud of all of us. Well done ladies.

I am tired, very tired and my legs are aching - time for bed. But, before I go, a shout out to the Erin Mills Eagles team and the signed jersey they sent us. It is knowing that we have such devoted fans and support that we keep going. Thank you Erin Mills Eagles.
