Training Camp - Day 2 Results
A gloomy London always puts a damper on your spirits. The second day of the training camp was met with a typical England rainstorm. We rolled on regardless, just a nuisance we had to overcome.
At the end of the ride, we were all wet and fairly exhausted. But, there was also plenty of smiles from all those that completed the 110km route. It was a bonding experience that separated the men from the boys.
The boys were told to go home and leave the camp a day earlier. Soaked in sweat and by the rain, I was told to stick around. Me and four other cyclists remain.
What doesn't kill you can only make you stronger. Today was a good day.

Spoiler - Each member gets 3.0 points to spread however they like over the 13 attributes listed above. One post per member.
- Stats work on a decimal system starting at 55.0.
- Stats are bumped up in PCM when they hit that number, ex. 55.9 = 55 in-game, and 61.4 = 61 stat in-game.
- The decimal numbers will remain hidden.
- There is a threshold for each stat when more points are needed to increase that stat. It's start off on a 1-to-1 scale where 1 point equals 1 stat upgrade. However, the scales get exponentially further and further apart the closer that stat gets to the maximum of 85. The increasing scale will also remain a mystery.
- Comment below to provide stat upgrades
Time to Shine: Last chance for Marcus Diamond to make a good first impression with his two wheels. Whichever member makes the last stats post before the next update will have their points tripled.

Training Camp - Day 3 Results
The difference between an average athlete and a good one is being able to rise up and excel when faced with a challenge. I hadn't made it this far to back down.
A professional cycling contract was in reach. I needed to go grab it.
We attacked each other on every incline. The five of us all knew we were going to push each other through hell and back to be the last one standing.
It was miserable, but at least it didn't rain again.
Sadly, I wasn't the last one standing. That honor went to  Germain Burton. The 23-year-old had more experience than I did and just picked me a part. Yet, I was pretty happy to come in as the runner-up.
Burton got offered a contract with JLT-Condor on the spot, while I was told they would get back in touch with me in a couple weeks.
So, there is still some hope with them, but perhaps I should look elsewhere as well. At least I know where I currently stand with my capabilities. Making a cycling team is no longer a pipe dream.
I'm headed off to a football youth academy camp this weekend with a couple of my Sunday league teammates. It's being hosted by Fulham FC in London. A huge turnout is expected with the new season on the horizon.
Rumor has it that the top prospects at the camp will suit up with Fulham's U18 team for a friendly against Charlton Athletic's U18 squad at the end of the month. That's where all the scouts are going to be. I need to be in that scrimmage.

This two-day camp has been put together by Fulham FC to fill vacant roster spots on its U18 and U23 academy teams. Young kids from across the region and country have traveled to Fulham's training ground to be noticed.
More than half of the participates will have to be sent home with the club bring back 50 prospects for the second day of the camp. Then, only a select handful will be invited to play with Fulham's U18 squad on Tuesday, August 1, 2017.
The road to being uncovered starts here.

The increasing scale will also remain a mystery and is different from the cycling progression scale.
-Comment below to provide stat upgrades.
Stand Out: The three stats that receive the most points will have their points doubled after the first day of the training camp.
Make the Cut: To make it to the second day of the camp, Marcus Diamond needs to have a stat average of at least 3 in all three of the main disciplines (Technical, Mental and Physical).
