That's the thing I've been finding, even in the 4th/5th/6th teer of Rugby the comitment requirements have gone through the roof in the last few years. An old coach of mine used to say 'You know when it's time to quit, when you get up on a saturday morning and you are still feeling the aching from last saturday', sod that I tend to feel the aches from 2-3 weeks previous

. I'm just happy as long as I get to play, any level will do me. In fact I don't even care if there isn't a ball but that's a front row thing

hehe - as a centre I tend to like to see the ball and plow through and round people

It does ache even me - so don't worry about that!

We were at an industrial estate in Dunstable as that is where PAz usually goes, got some very odd looks from passing drivers too.

Great thread.

I'd love to go to something like that. Looks like you all had loads of fun.

Looks great fun. I look like a rake compared to you guys though

so unfair.

Haha, don't let anything like that deter you from having a go, I'm not exactly beefy

And Jonny did bloody well - in fact lb for lb in terms of bodyweight vs strength I'd say he did well beyond just being strong.

Wish there was someone in Brighton that was going to this that I could catch a lift from

I'd so want to get involved.

Luton to Brighton is straight train with no changes iirc

Paz - weekend of the 22nd? You doing it again?

XZiBIT · 14 Aug 2009 at 08:52

Looked like great fun, can be shock to the body when your lifting stuff like kegs compared to a good old olympic barbell. We try to add some heavy bag lifting into our workouts but it doesn't happen that often.

Great work guys

PAz · 14 Aug 2009 at 09:58

Don't think we can do it that weekend. Probably 2 weeks after that. OK with you?

Freefaller · 14 Aug 2009 at 10:17

5th Sept?

PAz · 14 Aug 2009 at 11:38

Yer - OK With you?

Would be fine by me certainly, had a brief niggling thought that something else was on that day but on checking it's not until evening time. Hope it is nice weather again.

Freefaller · 14 Aug 2009 at 12:36

We have a house warming that evening, but 11am would be fine.

Create a thread about it closer to the time Paz, or whenever you want.

Jonny L · 14 Aug 2009 at 13:25

That sounds like a good date, I've got a 21st bday thing at 7.30 but part from that I have all day

OMG, you're built like a brick **** house
