Sanfor is at the head of the pack for the race, but he has more difficulties with the other exercises.
After exercises, they spend the rest of the morning training with various weapons. For the first half of this time, they work with their favored weapon, and for the second they are told to pick a weapon they are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with.

After weapons training, they take a short break for lunch. Then they move on to strategy and other special skills.
Sanfor eats a fair amount of the food, not overly hungry from recent exercise but knowing he'll need the fuel.
He is right to do so, because after a lecture on stealth and infiltration they are sent out for evening exercises.
He pays rapt attention, though falling briefly and unwillingly asleep in the back for a few minutes. He heads back out a little guiltily and refreshed.

Sanfor doesn't complain. Food is food. And he didn't even have to hunt it down himself.
OOC: We're going to do a time jump now, since I've decided how I'm going to get the main plot line moving here.
IC: The next two days pass in much the same fashion: breakfast, intense exercise followed by even more intense weapons training, lunch, skill work, more exercise, and dinner. On the third day, Sanfor notices that Hode is missing at dinner.

OOC: If you need a reminder, Hode is the big one.

Partway through the meal, Ximon asks Mitel where Hode is and Mitel replies that he was invited to dine with the Black Knight.
OOC: In that case, Ximon is the tall, blonde one and Mitel is the little one.
