friday 7 march: fijian touch warm up. asha bamboozled the opposition with her trademark tossing the ball over the person coming to touch her then catching it before it hit the ground and sprinting off for the try line. is that a forward pass to oneself? hmmmh.
warmed up, we worked on beating the opponent. first it was 2 attackers versus one defender then we switched to 3 on 2 and finished up with 4 on 3. full contact. failure to score meant 10 pushups. there were some spectacular big hits and the tackles were even more so. mutaks seemed to be enjoying it. hard to know but I could see his teeth so I guess he was smiling. he called a stop to it all when seeing the ball became a bi hard. it wasn’t even dark though. i think girls have to eat more carrots and less chocolates.
mutaks asked charlotte to stretch us. she first had us on the try line doing shuttle sprints to the 5 and back for about 1 minute. before we stretched we did our usual pushups, sit-ups and bridges. 30 pushups this time round. I finished 20 a bit comfortably then the other 10 wobbling all the way. i’m still the worst at pushups though prossy is not far behind. 30 sit-ups next: halfway through i could see ann (in photo) holding her knees to pull herself up. we did the bridges to a 50 - alia was leading the count and she counted nice and slow up to 20 then as our (and her) tummy muscles starting complaining she sort of speeded up the count. on 48 though she cheekily held us there for several counts. hmmpphh. we’re well on our way to having slabs of cement in lieu of stomachs!
