Few images from the camp

Just thought I would toss a few images up from the camp.  It is a rest day today and basically everyone has been lounging about so I have some time to play with my camera a bit.  Five sessions in now and I am still kicking...sort of.  My foot hurts something awful and my calves are balls of lactic acid but everyone keeps telling me that the first week is the roughest.  I am really enjoying the rest day though and hoping that it will let me train hard tomorrow. 

This is a shot of the gym.   Its open air with a weight room.  In this image the Greek National Team is training.  The woman in black is Marianna Kalergi who is currently the World Champ in her weight class.  Not going to lie...she scares the shit out of me! The Greek team trains at 7 pm every night after our session and it super fun to watch them work out.  A few of them are actually fighting on Thursday night and we are going to go to the fights!  Very excited to check that out.

Here is a shot of my shin so you can see a bit of the bruising that is going on.  To be honest the camera does not do it justice....the bruising is to the point where at dinner last night in Patong a whole bunch of Aussies pointed at my shins and said something to the effect of "Holy shit mate you loose a fight with a bunch of pygmies!"



And finally the view from the balcony of my room...The room is modest but the view is bitchin.  Below is the town of Patong.  Mom you will be glad to know I am way out of tidal wave range way up here...
