I survived my first 8 end game that I have played in a long time.  My Thurs night league is right after work so they rarely get in 6 ends but no more.  We did one game in a bonspiel last year I think but all in all a lot of exercise.  We had only 3 players on our team so got to throw 3 rocks  each end.  24 deep knee bends and sliding... and Lots... lots...lots of sweeping.  Tomorrow morning we are just doing a social with only 4 ends so I am going roller blading after ward.  Hopefully this will get me in shape for the Radiation.
