Official: Town Hallers love Bootcamp
Everyone did really well on Sunday, I thought a combination of heavy
rains, hailstones and terror would have scared the team off but people
still turned up albeit wearing three to four layers each. I don't really
think they knew what to expect and there were a few shocked faces when
I started screaming and pointing in my army training uniform.
The warmup got rid of those extra layers quick enough but I had to
punish everyone for one person not tying their shoelaces properly. The
team had a bit of a sadistic streak I didn't see coming and three more
people confessed to having to retie their laces ending up in about 20 to
30 pressups whilst people stopped (rested) to tie their shoelaces whilst
everyone else sweated and swore around them.
One thing that really impressed me was that no
one cried off or stopped outright, everyone put in 100% effort, no one
gave up and no one let the team down. If they can keep to that level of
commitment and intensity throughout their training for the 10k they'll be making leaps
and bounds. I was expecting excuses and pussying out but
everyone made a fantastic commitment to the session.
A few team games later people were barking order at each other, and I
just smiled and watched the ordered chaos as people screamed directions, stop-go
commands and encouragement to ensure a winning time.
Great work, impressive effort and a great photofinish.
Next week, cage fighting.
