Well the first week of pre-season is under our belts. Coming into camp in semi decent shape always helps and limits the soreness but nothing can ever prepare you for the running that is involved. With only 4 guys in town (Ian,Aaron,Me, and Kerry) we get plenty of attention from the coaches ensuring that we don’t take any short cuts.

The highlight of the week was the running that went a little something like this. Beep test, 9 full court sprints in 3 seconds followed up with 10 suicides. Last year I came into camp in the worst shape ever because of the vacation i had before plus two weddings so let’s just say I wasn’t eating properly and it showed because I weighed in at 110kg’s.

This year I came in weighing 100kg’s and was told to put on 5kg’s. I’ve reached that target and now the hard part is keeping it on with all the cardio we do.

No one threw up but the word is that boot camp is around the corner so place your bets on the first guy to lose it.
