Camp Camp Camp

Our fitness test for All-Americans is called the death flop. This is not a joke. We should probably do this though, because it is such a rugby-specific test. It is a 20m course, with the 10m halfway point marked out. It goes like this:

start with a pancake on your belly
sprint 10m to the halfway
down on your back (but you can't somersault, which was totally going to be my strategy...so you basically just have to do a situp)
sprint 10m to the end of the course
down on your back again, flip over to your belly
sprint 10m back to halfway
down on your back
sprint 10m back to the beginning
pancake

you do this for a whole minute. then you rest for a minute while your partner goes. then you go again for another minute. rest for another minute. etc. you go a total of 10 times so the whole thing takes 20 minutes.

death.

flop.

other than that, camp has been decent. learning a ton. but such is my luck, on friday the 13th, i broke my nose again. so...no contact for me for at least 5 weeks... :-(
