First training of the White Collar Boxing

Today was the first day of the 3 months intense training that will lead me and the rest of the squad to the April 9 Event, where each of us will have a boxing fight against another one.
First impression of the facilities: They are nice but lacks some things I've been used in my Gym: they do not provide towels (for neither the workout or the shower), and there are very few showers (only 2??). Apart from that nothing much at first glance: the rest of the gym is clean, equipment is in good condition.
For the training itself: it was short because it was our first, and consisted basically on some skipping (which I've not done in many many years... felt a bit stupid when doing it), some leg movements, some cardio circuit and basic jab cross. Nothing much that I've not done before, but it was a fresh start. I'm a bit out of shape since I've been travelling so much last year, so it felt good.
Also, today was the day were each of us finally meet the rest of the squad: the people we are going to be training, sparring during the next 12 weeks, knowing that one of them will be the one in the ring with you. They have selected quite a different kind of people: extra fit people, persons with experience in boxing (you can easily spot them when doing the foot work), others with no experience, etc.

This kind of motivates me because I can see there are many persons that today are in better shape and better prepared than I am, but I'll train hard and shape up, because I want to fight whoever is best in the squad. Yeah, call me stupid, but they always say to aim high. And I'll make no exception :)

Next training, Wednesday 12!
