2011 is looking good

ACT Sweet Chilli Fillies, Darwin, 2011. I have my head taped to cover 6 stitches over my eyebrow!!
Most notably, I travelled to New York for the NY7s tourney, which was one of the most positive rugby experiences I’ve had. A couple of weeks ago, I toured to Darwin with the ACT girls for the Darwin Hottest 7s, and I have a few more 7s tourneys coming up.

Didn’t we have a fun time! The Vikings girls ripped up at CC7s on the weekend, taking home the $1000 prizemoney and a bunch of Blackest Cat kit, including boots!

The burden of your dreams

Catching the clean (badly), September, 2010
This is not just for rugby players, but for everyone. I remind my husband of this when belief in his own dream falters. Perhaps this is simply “making sacrifices” – he knows we will need to move cities if he is to progress, but we love it here.

Alas and alack, I’ve had some server issues so I’ve relocated here for a short time! Most of my content is still available, but there’ll be issues with some (most) pics and possibly some documents.

Thanks for 2010… and moving on
No comments · Posted by amanda in ACT Women, Rugby, vikings women
With the lull in proceedings before the various sevens tourneys, I thought now was a good time to look back at 2010 and take what I can into next year.
The video below is part of my 2010 review and the first step towards 2011. It’s also an opportunity to thank a bunch of people who made a difference to me, even in ways they probably think are insignificant (I didn’t think so!)

Video Viqueens Grand Final Victory Highlights – long version
No comments · Posted by amanda in General
I’ve been a bit slack in getting these highlights together, but the Caped Crusader is happy to present them for your viewing pleasure.
I’m wearing the cape, and you’ll see fine performances from Wallaroos Kristy Giteau and Alex Hargreaves, a deadset ripping fend from former Wallaroo Kim Wilson, and, well, just a try-scoring bonanza for the Viqueens. Nikki Ayers score twice, and kicks a fab goal from out wide.

The Rep Shed
1. Perform sets of 8 – 10 reps (stimulates hypertrophy)
2. Use gym rings – super efficient and quite cheap. I got mine on eBay for $58 delivered, they’re even cheaper now, see here: http://7h.it.cx/9n201v . Starting with pullups and dips is good. But remember, exercises should mostly be done in sets of 8 – 10 or so.
