Dream or Nightmare?

Winnie Atyang/ Joan Andika: At first it was funny: swinging the ball one way while running uphill then running downhill as the ball went the other way. But as the morning wore on and as the day got hotter it ceased being a joke. Rugby pitches are meant to be flat but the pitch we were training on had a 30 degree slant to it from one touch line to the other. Ok, it was a football pitch not a rugby pitch but surely even football is played on a flat pitch! Then the roadwork … No words can describe it. The 10km marathon run we did in November last year as part of our fitness regime was easy compared to the hills we sprint up. Going for the World Cup is a dream come true for us but we have to live through many nightmares first.
