rugby camp

rugby camp was both physically n mentally challenging. it had really test our mind n body beyond its limit. but now i feel accompolished that i have survived this camp.

the camp started off with field trg. we had a friendly game with the B division boys who are preparing for their semis this coming monday against SJI. had a good run. after that, was the start of the torture time. the ruggers had to go to the gallery. there, we did like 300 plus kind of different exercises. for me, since i couldnt do excercises involving the wrist, i had a total abs workout with the help of gym master, suhaimi. haha. he made me do all kinds of abs exercises la. goodness. after tat worked on the hammies n knees. everywhere single body parts started hurting. it hurt soo much that after 3/4 through the torture time, my whole legs (both sides) were numb n at one time i really cant even support myself. i totally went beyond my limits. but i strongly believe tats is the main reason why we are doing all these in the first place- to test our mind n body. glory is nothing without pain.

after taking ages to shower, we had our dinner followed by a video session in the ava. watched the cjc game which was rather pathetic. but we have surely learnt alot from it. its time to put all this into action. theres no use watching n practising a move or game plan, but not being able to excute it in the game or wen the pressure sets in. then watched a small part of the all blacks game against british lions before ending off the night with a movie. very inspiring. we checked in into saint andrew's hotel n were given 3 rooms. next block neighbour was the sports club also having their camp.. at 3am while everyone was like asleep or still trying to sleep, our neighbours conducted a some drill session which woke me up n gave me problems trying to sleep for the rest of the night. argh.

by 7am, we were at the tracks doing moring pt. we did 4 sets of 800m. where everyone has to come in before 4 min. i managed to meet the timings. but those who didnt had to come forward to do another extra 3 sets of 400m. decided to run with them again. cos after all, a team is only as strong as its weakest link. further more, i already like couldnt feel my legs wen i started running. haha. after that, had breakfast n trg. after lunch we had physio talk before breaking off from the camp- something which i looked forward to.

Good Luck Team Sajc!
