After drill it was time for phys. We all thought they would bin the run in favour of a circuit session. We were wrong. We got changed into trousers, t-shirt and trainers and formed up out side and received the news we were going for warm up, games, a run and then circuit. Just what we wanted to hear! We started on our way and soon warmed up, that was short lived, as before we knew it we were doing press ups and sit ups in the snow.
Then we played a couple of games including Poodle & Rottweiler' : we were on all fours and when Poodle was called out we had to try and get behind our partner and when Rottweiler was called out we had to wrestle our partner to the floor. After this, with hands numb and stinging from the snow, it was time to carry on the run. We ran a couple of miles then stopped, partnered up and then formed a circle.
The partnership would have one person on the back of the other, they then had to jump off, go between their legs, slap there face (shouting "naughty thing"), then go back through their legs and run round the circle. The last ones back getting press ups. We did this a couple of times, swapping round. We then formed up, but because we took too long to do it, we then had to lay on back, stand up, sit down, lay down on our backs, roll over with our face in the snow and then stand up. We did this a couple of times, with different sequences and then went formed up and started our run again.
