First HPU training day of 2010!

Yesterday, (16th January) was the first HPU training day of 2010 at the University of Essex. We started with a turbo session which I thought was going to be much easier than a 2 hour road ride. It wasn't! After that we had lunch and our coach Dave Parry gave us a triathlon based quiz which my team definitely should have won. This was followed by a less exhausting mental toughness session which was extremely interesting and we all took a lot away from it. Then we had a run drills session followed by a short(ish) run session which would have been more enjoyable if it hadn't been freezing cold and pouring with rain! The day was concluded with an hour of core stability exercises and stretching which rounded everything off nicely. So that was the first session of 2010 and I'm sure that there will be many more :)
