Pretty interesting this gallery. Looks like the top 17 is wearing blue jerseys. Interesting to see Ikuvalu and Verills in the grey jerseys. Thoughts?

No! They'll be worn out before the season starts!
...and end up with sunstroke.

Is that what happened to you?

Is that what happened to you?

No, but;

Exercising in hot weather can affect your body. When you exercise, your blood gets pumping to deliver adequate oxygen to your muscles. This leads to a rise in body temperature. When you're getting physical in above-average temperatures, this effect is more intense, because your heart sends large amounts of blood to the skin in an attempt to cool it down and, in turn, leaves less blood in the muscles, further speeding the heart rate.

What's more, in humid weather, sweat is sometimes unable to do its job because it doesn't evaporate as efficiently as it does in a drier climate. This may drive body temperatures to dangerous extremes.

There are three basic levels of heat-related illness: heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heatstroke. You should be familiar with the signs of each of these conditions so you can identify them when you or someone else may be in danger of overheating.

People have died in the 'City to Surf' on hot days.

You'd have them sitting in a circle with a therapy dog in the middle whilst crying on each other's shoulders over life's misery.

Please don't despair and stress to much

Yes but not elite athletes with doctors and coaches circling the field. These guys can play 80 minutes of footy in Darwin if need be. They are well oiled machines.

Honestly, city to surf is a pretty short, light run for a seasoned distance runner. The biggest issue is that it's a popular event and inexperienced runners get a little too excited about the idea of running from the city to the surf (which ain't that far).

FWIW I'm an amateur and I run a 'city to surf' every lunchtime (yep including 40+ degree days). Last year I was in Japan during summer and did a 'half marathon' (almost double city to surf) every morning. Their terrain is mountainous and the humidity is similar to that of a tropical country. My times suffered but when I got home, the fitness benefits were insane!!!

Why don't I die?
1. I have a decent base of fitness (no not elite - just a keen amateur) because I exercise daily.
2. I bring water with me (and snacks, just incase).
3. Properly planned training is good for you.

BB, Mr Doom and Gloom at it again!

Do you really think that our trainers, nutricians, coaching staff etc would put our players in harms way with dangerous practices? Seriously mate, we are a professionally run club, not some amateur rabble. Get a grip.

Danny Shepherd.
A promising front-row forward, Shepherd was struck down by severe sunstroke during an early season match against the Gold Coast in 1990. After eleven days near death at Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital,


What about; "The boys ripped into a big few hours of field training from 5pm until 8pm four days this week, with a focus on speed and line running".

You know, not in the "midday sun."
