Wednesday 6th Feb: a very cold dreary day. It rained most of the morning and the sun attempted to come out mid afternoon. Not much good because as we warmed up with touch rugby we were wading on one half of the pitch and wallowing through mud on the ‘drier’ other half. English style rugby I guess.
Our coach for the session was ‘doc’ - a former rugby player with a medical degree. After warming up doc called us in for a fitness session. We did fitness drills that simulated a 7’s game and it was painfully fun. We rediscovered muscles that had long been inactive since last year and learned their medical names as well. We’ll be doing this (the fintness drills not the anatomy lessons) weekly. ‘Doc’ told us we need to start going to gym and sprinting up hills. I can do the hills anytime but the gym!!! Ditto some of the other ‘lightweights’ – Joan, Harriet … though I believe I hold the record of the least number of kgs bench pressed. Christine and Ann would probably opt for the gym rather than the hills. Not that I’d blame them. Moving 70+ kgs up a hill is no easy task.
Mutaks joined us at the end and informed us that Friday would be an introduction to game plan and on Saturday a couple of games.
