Tough oppostion

We lost against the Russians in our group match, the scoreline did not reflect on our hard work into this match. But it had to be said that Russia did outclass us in terms of performance.
6-2 was the score.
A lot of disappointed girls, but the management quickly said we now have a second chance by getting through to the semi-finals. Our opponent will be USA who got gold 4 years ago at the Deaflympics in Melbourne, so we have a really tough match tomorrow.
I didn't play in the Russia match, in my mind I could believe I could make a difference in speed and strength I have. But in my coaching mind, I wouldn't have gambled on using me by being out for most of the season.

Yesterday afternoon we had free time, so a group of us went to the city to eat and then went shopping. I only bought a hat. I am hoping I will get another chance to have some free time to go out with my father and Andrew (brother in law). Corinna (my sister) has asked me to get some mascot stuff for her kids and my nephews. Andrew has also asked me to help out to decide on getting clothes for his girls.

We girls had a bit of fun in my room last night as Carly bought her I-pod, so when music was played - some of the girls were dancing and laughing. This was just the tonic we needed after losing badly to Russia. When the girls finally left my room, I decided to watch DVD - High School Musical 3, I fell asleep...
So I am up early this morning, got another hour before breakfast - so I have quickly jumped on the Internet to say hi to everyone.

Plans for the day.

9.30 - Meeting
10.30 - light swim session

1.30 - Rest or treatment
4.30 - Meeting

By the way, if you are wondering - the temperature in Taiwan have dropped massively. It is still hot, but bearable hot. Its like our British hot summer.

Keep well everyone, and keep reading my blog.
