Winter Fatigue

It's before 7 am on Sunday -- my day off. I've been up since about 5:30, wide awake and trying to rest quietly for as long as I could without disturbing my roommate.

I have talked and reminisced about my very first National Team quite a lot. It was such a mix of good and bad; I didn't know what to expect because I didn't know anything at all; and I learned a lot that summer. Without the experiences I had on my first Team as a U23 athlete, … Continue reading #TBT
