camaraderie

friday 1st feb: the dreaded steps session did not materialise - coach got held up on his way to training so we ended up playing touch rugby as we waited for him. unfitness aside, so far it looks promising: elusive footwork, support play, creativity ... we were able to identify our individual weaknesses and learned how to play with the new faces. it also brought about the all important camaraderie needed to keep a women's team going. unfortunately, mutaks arrived and after watching us for a while he had a chat with our TM (jero) then they interrupted our fun. sets of 1 minute shuttle runs between the 22 and the tryline followed by more sets between the tryline and the 5!!! sprinting - supposedly - but by the time we were done we were literally crawling. oh, we did get 30 seconds break between each set but had to do pressups and situps as we 'rested'. i hate the beginning of season!!!

after the session mutaks requested us all to cut down on our alcohol intake. i can see sacrifices have to be made early on...
