sweet recovery
back from bandar sports camp. 6d5n almost killed me. imagine 5full days of endless trainings. my life consisted of nothing but...
630:wake up
730:breakfast
830-130pm: physical, trng
130-230:lunch and rest
300-630: training and physical
700:dinner
1200mn: rest.
and the cycle repeats itself for the entire 5days. and mind you, our physical is no shit.
how we survived was a wonder, a team's wonder. ac hockey's spirit burns strong.
played with the guys 2nd team yest and we drew them 0-0! we girls are no pushovers. ac hocks!!!
and game today was super well played by everyone in the team. it's just heartening to know that the team is improving; skills, mental strength, physical capabilities.
now it's back to sg, no more dirty-digustingly smelly toilets, cold showers, repetitive food consisting of chicken,fish, vege and tons of rice, endless flights of stairs, mosquitoes infested rooms, agressive cats, scorching sun, hours of exhausting trainings, mind testing physicals. but after all those days of suffering, i felt sad when i walked off the pitch for the last time today. it was as if the wind understood how we felt as it howled when we collected our trunk and turned our backs at the wonderous hockey pitch. vast it may seem, but we shed tears, persparation, blood. we fell, got back up on that hockey pitch.
teammates bonded, friendship strengthened.
yes no doubt i came back home with my left knee scraped and right knee bruised, both ankles busted and countless blue blacks, but i dare say that i love bandar. and though i dreaded waking up in the morning knowing that it's another killer day; reluctance in pulling my weary-aching limps out of the room, i know i'm stronger.
the prospect of hanging out with the team without the distractions of civilisation, ipod and whatsoever seemed doubtful at first, but the valuable understanding of each other is something that i'll carry on with me.
i love you teammates.
in short, i love ac hockey.
