As usual, we all met at 7am on the local high school running track to undertake a fitness session. Todays session was much lighter, with the Dallaa Cup due to start on Sunday we didnt want to be bursting a gut a few days before.
The session was a recovery session, where we completed numerous laps of the field at a slow pace, and then had a bit of light hearted fun by playing some football games between one another.
Oh ... i almost forgot ... every day a high-vis vest is passed to someone due to a silly comment or action they have said or done ... and it was my turn to wear the vest today, which says numpty on the back! I had to wear it all day, and yes it was embarassing!
Breakfast at Chubbys was next on the agenda, where we was joined by Keith Stroud (National List Referee) and Dave Allison (National List Manager) who will be staying with us from now onwards.
We then headed off to Fort Worth, which is a city close to Dallas and is the home of the Cowboys. We had a tour of the area, and was told about the history of the city.
We then had some time to do some shopping, and i of course had to buy a cowboy hat! We saw a cattle march, where the cowboys directed lots of bulls through the streets of Fort Worth.
Steak was then on the menu, as we all settled down and had a meal. The food was terrific i must say!
From here it was time for the Rodeo show. I have never experienced anything quite like it in my life. The way the bulls threw the cowboys off was scary, and at one point i thought a cowboy was dead!!! Some parts of the show I didnt agree with (being an animal lover) but i am glad i have experienced it.
So thats day 4, we now move onto Saturday where we will sign into the tournament, and also meet Howard Webb who flew out this morning.
