Breakfast: Eggs
Lunch: Roasted Sweet Potato, tuna and salad
Evening meal: Prawn Stir-fry

Up as usual at 5.30am for our morning wake-up route march, but this time thanks to a lot of stretching last night before bed and first thing this morning, I managed to keep up with the rest of the group- so I must be improving, either that or the rest of the girls are getting slower with fatigue! However on the way back to the house we had to do jogs and sprints so it wasn't a quite walk in the park after all, and all before breakfast.
After breakfast we stayed inside and did an aerobics workout, I have fond memories of countless sessions in the gym doing legs, bums and tums and fat burning classes so it was well worth working up a sweat for. We also did another session of arm exercises again was slightly more bearable now that my fitness levels are improving.

The instructors made us work for our lunch by asking us, in groups, to devise three 20 minute circuit training classes- one indoors and two outdoors (in the driving rain). We decided on an abdominal workout for the first, times relay racers and physical leg exercises for the second and an arm workout using logs (not my ideal choice of pain) and then we could eat a very well deserved lunch.
We were then taken out for the rest of the afternoon by the Drover Holidays tour guides on a mountain biking trail around a local reservoir. It wasn't as easy as it sounds though, as always with boot camp out bike ride consisted of a lot of hills, which taught us all how to use the gears correctly and gave us thighs the size of Geoff Capes. But what goes up must come down and we went down those hills extremely fast, so fast that every time we reached the bottom we fell about laughing at each others faces splattered in mud we were all completely covered in it by the end of the afternoon and despite the bitterly cold driving wind and rain (and numb bums) we all really enjoyed the afternoon.
After our evening meal we were allowed a little bit of a rest period in the form of a team quiz. We had to answer correctly a number of general knowledge and music questions within our Field Gun Crew teams- and guess what? My team, Air Fleet Arm only went and won- again. Amazing!
Flopped into bed around 8.30pm.
