Today
was our first game day as we faced the Russian University side in a
friendly, who are also preparing for the upcoming World University Games. It
was a great opportunity and insight into what we may have to face in the next
few weeks as we both head to Kazan to battle it out for gold.

After
the usual morning samples and breakfast, the coaches set us a task, a team
building one which involved creating ‘TEAM GBR’ literally! We were split off
into teams and headed on a mission around the training ground to find items
which not only began with either T, E, A, M, G, B or R but were either
red, blue or white, our colours. As you imagine this was entertaining to say
the least as everyone’s competitive side emerged and no-one wanted to come out
losers. There was a lot at stake as the winning team have the privilege of
choosing what sport we would go and watch whilst at the Games; suggestions of
sports started flying around with 27 different options to choose from!

So off
we set creative brains at the ready and camera in hand to see what we could
find to create TEAM GBR. Unfortunately despite some imaginative photos our team
didn’t win, but congrats to Kerys, Beth, Demi, Dan G and Trev who stole the
show. It was great way to
spend the morning relaxing and always great for team bonding. As gutted as I was that our team didn't win you can't help but agree that the pictures showing are more than worthy winners...
