Training Camp 2: Los Angeles

Conquered! In the first group to make it to the top!

We arrived in Los Angeles ready for sunshine and hardwork! My favorite day during our Los Angeles training was when we woke up early for a hill run in Hollywood where we took on Runyon Canyon. A run was followed by uphill sprints and finished with running a very steep, long flight of stairs! It was a great workout and felt productive. After, we did some sightseeing around Hollywood before hitting the netball courts. In the afternoon, our team did some teambuilding activities and sprints on the beach before getting into the ocean! It was SO cold but one of the most fun, refreshing ice baths I have ever taken. We headed to the court again in the afternoon before wrapping up the day looking at netball footage. It was a long, but incredible day!






The second day, we had the privalege of playing the Los Angeles Waves team and wrapped up the day at a fundraiser to support our team and the sport outreach programs that we participate in. My favorite part of this day was probably when our team showed off our musical side for American Idol singer Michael Johns! We are clearly a group of athletes, not in the choir... it was much better when Michael sang it!

Heading back to Michigan tomorrow morning, looking forward to a week of training with our four Ann Arbor girls!
