I didn't know THAT could hurt

I've been out of the loop a little too long me thinks.

Havnt played rugby in 18 months, havnt really done any really really tough workouts up until last night. It fealt AWESOME to get back into that i'm so exhausted i might hurl stage. Scary but awesome. Definitely going to go again. Its exactly what i need to jumpstart getting back into shape for this CPAT thing.

I think if i were to get a shot at the test without doing an hour long circuit training exercise first i'd have been able to get a passing time. We'll find out on January 19th though, for real. I'm sure i'll have to take another shot at it, but whats the worst that can happen this time around. Not pass? oh well, there's 3 more chances.

Edit:

A simple list of the basics we worked on for starters

(Wearing a 50# vest throughout)
Tractor Tire flip
6" stepups
stepups on a tractor tire
weighted lunges
Wallball with a medicine ball

each for 2 minutes 2 times

Running an exercise "rack"

20' sprint
30 pushups
20' sprint + 40' sprint
30 shoulderpresses
20' sprint + 40' sprint + 60' sprint
30 alternating low rows each side
20' sprint + 40' sprint + 60' sprint + 80' sprint
30 bicep curls bilaterally
20' sprint + 40' sprint + 60' sprint + 80' sprint + 100' sprint
30 hammer curls
20' sprint + 40' sprint + 60' sprint + 80' sprint + 100' sprint + 120' sprint
30 bentover rows
20' sprint + 40' sprint + 60' sprint + 80' sprint + 100' sprint + 120' sprint

average time ~9:45 minutes to complete

its only a 30 minute workout with a break between halves but it wore me the hell out

i need to hit the gym harder
