01 Sep 2007 - Resumption of training / First training (in a long time) with tyre

(finally getting up to speed)

After a good month-long hiatus, Papillon was starting to turn mouldy. YES, it is time to resume training.

Warm-up was a tad late and lenient, so everyone was secretly happy, but who knows, this happiness was but a short-lived smokescreen. The actual water training was FWAH LAU EHHH... (We all wonder if Coach knows that tyres are actually meant for land / road use.)

The arduous journey out towards the endless bridges (arh?? which one!?) seemed awfully far with the excess baggage weighing us down. But like Coach said, although the coordination was good, our consistency could be better and we need such training to build up our endurance and power. Okay, point taken (and swallowed). *GULP*

We then beached ourselves and did the hardest 20 push-ups ever, on the sand. By the end of this, most arms were just dangling from our mortal bodies, with exception of a few superbeings.

Papillon then headed back and was greeted by a welcome party of one man - dear Freddy! A brief de-brief and Papillon whoosh then capped a most tiring but fulfilling session.

(See y'all Sat!)

yea, tyre training is by far the toughest, but we all know that its good for our coordination. Let's continue to work on our fitness at our own time apart from sat's sea training. Rememember Destination Regatta!
