Hour 21

May 11, 2013
My Teamates

This weekend was my last club tournament ever and it was awesome! Saturday was exhausting, though.

I arrived in Reno late the previous night around midnight. I wanted to rest up because I knew I had a long day the following day.

We started playing at 3PM and our last game didn't end until 11:15PM. Even though my shoulder was hurting and my patella tendinitis was acting up, I was feeling the pain and exhaustion my team was going through. So being the aspiring manghihilot that I am, I gave everyone a quick shoulder massage during our break to relieve some strain from the mind and bodies.

We were exhausted because we were missing two of our players, one of which was a starting libero (defensive player) and the other a main offensive hitter. Everyone was hurting, but we all powered through.

My girls couldn't stop thanking me. The only one that had experienced it before was Tyler and she already knew I was good at it. She even said I improved. Everyone else were impressed with how strong my hands were. It was weird to me because it's really easy for me to find knots, but most of them have never felt them before. It was fun explaining where they were and why they were there. It distracted us from how tired we really were.

Twenty more, five more to go.
