Day 1 - Tuesday

Wednesday 22 September 2010  at 03:32
Well its nearly half 7 on Tuesday night.

Day 1 has been very cool, I woke up about 8:30am and went down for breakfast at the hotel. The Flamingo has 5 or 6 restaurants i believe, and we had breakfast at the buffet place.

Its UNREAL! the buffet is huge! and it has everything! meat, fruit, breads and even a chocolate fondu fountain! i mean whats that about!? You can have doughnuts and cakes here for breakfast! Sometimes its hard to think why so many Americans are overweight...Hmmmm.

vegas in the daytime is hot! full of tourists from all over the place.
Myself, Alexi and Martin went on a quest to find some cool shops. We ended up spending 30 minutes just trying to find a way out of the hotel!

We walked through Cesars palace and the Bellagio and then found some very designer and expensive shops. We wandered where the malls were so we kept walking and then sure enough we found a mall.

Its full of shops and boutiques and we all bought some clothes and bits and pieces. I bought the 2nd hat of my trip!
Inside the mall there is a fake sky, it looks like the Truman show, looks so real and freaks you out a bit because I thought it was getting dark and we were late for training! when really it was still 3pm.

We saw a cool looking tattoo shop and joked about getting victory tattoos when we win!

At 4pm we had a stroll down to the pool and it didnt last long because we realised what the time was...
5pm was a squad training session. I had printed off some basic workouts for people to do in the gym. The gym is pretty small, and we filled it, but we got the job done. It was tough making a programme for this session, because i didnt want people to get too much fatigue by trying new exercises. So i had to keep it basic and general. The group was of mixed ages, abilities, sex and gym experience.

I felt good during my workout and had a good stretch after. Im back to full strength now and needed a good pump to relieve my post flight sedentarys!

I had a weigh in today at 76kg, so all good, i plan to sweat down to 75kg on the day and make the weight.

Im now going to have a shower and then its off out to eat.

Reporting back soon...
Tommy
