preseason journal entries

Similar to other long trips the team has done for preseason, we'll be updating a daily journal to let you know what’s going down in Portugal & Spain. Thanks for tagging along!

Tuesday, January 20

Day One started a bit slower. Most of the traveling group slept in, then relaxed in the afternoon. Some of the support staff took an afternoon stroll down to Praia da Quinta do Lago before lunch.

After lunch, we had our first training session of the camp. This session focused heavily on cardio and getting loose after yesterday's long travel day. Once the field session wrapped, the guys had a gym session before returning to the hotel for dinner. The rest of the evening was quiet; some of the guys hung out and played cards while others unwound in their rooms.

We have arrived! After a 20+ hour travel day, we made it to Quinta do Lago. We'll spend the next week here for a fitness camp before our first friendly.
