9th Selection Camp - Day 3

'Every day you will feel better and better, the altitude will not be such a big problem and...' I kept these words in mind, but our morning exercises (for those who speak Polish - sciezka zdrowia) made me feel hopeless. We started with some stretching (Terresa!!!), than moved to a slow jog and finished in a forest just next to Chateau d'Oex. The movie posted today on the community website should be enough as for a comment.
Our physical activity ended up with running, but this was already in a different place. The Mayo Clinic examined our general fitness by pushing us to our limits on a treadmill. Everyone had to run for about 8-12 minutes, with the speed and the gradient increasing. Although we were asked not to disturb the others and not to make the room too crowded, soon the whole team was supporting the ones examined and so on. Than a short photo-session (a tip for those who are applying for another camp: write about your modeling experience, it will be highly appreciated :D) and dinner (Eating Team!!!).
During the day, we had also workshops with Mercedes Benz and I actually feel that I have learned much more than my friends during their driving courses. The firs rule you must remember is: safety first, but than the complicated stuff comes... I think I'll better keep on cycling...
That's all for today, goodnight! :)
