Nations Cup 2009
Apologies for the lack of posts, and it's not as if I can blame it on the time difference, but I am in the fortunate position to be based in Toronto for two weeks for the Nations Cup.
I arrived last Saturday and a week later I have still no got used to one thing - the humidity. The time difference/jet lag, etc, are a doddle compared to the humidity, although being based in a dorm with no air conditioning doesn't help.
The Nations Cup involves the women's national teams of Canada, England, France and South Africa and is based in Appleby College, Oakville. In fact, Gloucester trained here two seasons ago, and I'd love to know what they made of the rooms (all the teams and officials are based in dorms) and the lack of temperature control.
The setting is fabulous as the college is based on the shores of Lake Ontario and unless you've actually seen it, it is difficult to comprehend the size and expanse of one of the Great Lakes. With the towns of Oakville and Bronte a short drive away (walking it means you're a mass of perspiration within five minutes), local amenities are never far.
And so to a first night of sleep broken by the need to toss and turn as I try and get used to the fact that it's going to be warm... very warm.
