7's Tournament

I should be reading my French book...I really should...but instead, I've decided to write a blog about the rugby 7's tournament that happened yesterday!

It was an amazing day...I was really nervous going into the tournament but I think I played really well and I almost scored :) Except then I got caught in a maul and so I passed the ball to Bianca and she scored! I made some awesome tackles too!! And my team played AMAZINGLY...SO AMAZINGLY that we WON the tournament for midget!!! We beat BHS, CVR and Stanstead. I love my gold medal. I am officially obsessed with it :) Except the "rugby ball" on it looks a bit too much like a football.

I also got a tan since we were outside the whole day, which is the best part of all this!

But skating today wasn't so great because I am SOOO sore from rugby...because the problem with 7's is that you are sprinting for the whole game (which is 15 minutes long...but still, sprinting for 15 minutes straight is a lot!) even if you don't have the ball because you are running as support or chasing the person with the ball on the other team to tackle them! So yeah, skating was interesting...I couldn't jump that well and my spins were not that great either. Oh well, the gold medal makes skating not seem so bad :)

Alright, well I dont know if anything I wrote makes any sense, because I am ridiculously tired (and I still have a cold...I've had it for almost a week)... I should go to bed. But I'm not going to. I know it.

Check out this super intense picture that I found. It was on the GMAA website for some reason...anyway I think it's the cross country race! Or Halo from last year? Anyway I have no clue but yay it's me, Alex, Kia, and Lianna!
