Another training camp and tune-up tournament, this time in the States. Bo, Bear, Joey and I left Frankfurt Monday afternoon and arrived in Birmingham, Alabama Monday night. Our bags and chairs struggled to keep up with our blistering pace however, and decided to stop for a breather in Chicago. As a result, a few of us had to sit out the first practice on Tuesday. Eventually our gear began to trickle in – a chair here, a guitar there – and by the afternoon session, we were back on court with the rest of the team. I’d like to say that the extra rest sent us flying out of the gate, but to put it positively, the quality of our training improved as the week went on.
