paintball
This long weekend I went with my sister and her boyfriend to play paintball for the first time. My sis and her other half play and work at the paintball place all the time. They finally managed to organise a time when I could actually take a day to myself (damn work) and play with them. It was a really good day, I enjoyed it heaps.
I managed to get the shit shot outta me in a big way, but the problem being, I was the only non-professional player there… The day was organised to be the training day for the competition players. I even played against the leading Australian team which was pretty intense.
The day after however… I have counted about 16 bruises and I can barely move my legs. Its not the fact that I was hit at close range a few too many times, its more of the fact that I was running, crouching, jumping up from behind obstacles, darting and sprinting around that has made my legs non-functional. I’m no fatty, but I don’t do any exercise except for riding my motorbike (yeah, like thats very energetic anyway) so I feel like Neo from the Matrix when he asks why his eyes hurt. The answer to that question was “Because you have never used them before”. hehe hopefully the stiffness will go away in the next day or so cause I’d like to go out and play again soon.
