After a tough end of the season, New Orleans knew something had to change. What started off promising end up simply tasting bitter after it was all said and done and as a team, everyone knew that we simply were not good enough. We were not about to let that happen again. As declared at the end of the season, Bjørn Ironside headed to the peak of Mount Everest to begin his most rigorous training regimen yet. He invited all of NOLA who wished to join him and many decided to make the trek. Ironside knew if they could make the climb, then they would be dedicated to a much better season. Even newcomer to the team, but old friend, Marcella T?riki made the climb to endure the most harsh of training adventures. Survival battles, lumber jacking, and wind sprints in snow that came up to the waist. Bode absolutely loved it as he seemed to push harder than others, often sneaking off to get in some extra work in the snow. The old bear doesn't get much snow down in New Orleans. Others did not fair so well as Gump ended up with frostbite and had to be carried back down the mountain by Ironside himself. He lost a couple of toes, but he has recovered and is ready for season kickoff. It was an adventure and the team learned much about each other in those mountains. Only time will tell if the extreme training paid off!
