Make sure you are all awake, ok?

Today we had a gym session which quickly turned into a court sprint session again as the treadmills didn't work properly - which was all good. Worked really really hard - here's some photos of us going!

Just to show how hard altitude is/how hard we are pushing it up here - I've been made to upload a flattering photo that you don't have to look at if you don't want... (Don't look at it!) thanks Anthony for the photography! Was a tough session!!! Getting stronger though each time...

Who's that?!?

Went down for another training session after a couple of hours resting, at the club - was tough work, but only our second games we've played here so it'll definitely get easier to play! Watched some other teams again - it's quite cool coming from NZ and not getting out too much to see all the different styles of the game!!! Each country has their own unique styles and tactics - is going to make for interesting games, I think!

Not too much else to report - went and had steak for dinner... Not sure if anyone wanted to know that but it was good!

Tomorrow we are playing USA (a friendly match) just to get us in amongst some other players and get used to playing different styles and (hopefully) winning! Should be good, we are all looking forward to the little challenge! So many different people here which is pretty cool.

Still amazed at the lack of care taken to do with road rules - no one indicates, everyone speeds, red lights just make it more fun for drivers (I think)... Interesting place :) enjoying it!

Will report again tomorrow, thanks for reading!
Cheers
