The priority of this past offseason for Baltimore Hawks star defensive end Kurt Hendrix was to improve his motor. A decrease in effectiveness late in games and late in the season was one of the few chinks in his armor. Gaining so much weight and strength from the previous season undoubtedly hurt the cardiovascular system of Hendrix. After the Ultimus, the priority was endurance improvement. There is nothing better at improving endurance than training for a triathlon. Kurt bought himself a top of the line road bicycle and went out to Colorado with a few teammates for a one month long altitude training camp. The typical day included waking up at 6am and heading out on the bike to complete one of Colorado's challenging yet beautiful ascents. Some of them took an hour long or more. After that, the group would head back to the base camp for lunch and some rest. In the evening it was either a distance run on the trails or a bunch of laps in the pool. Kurt had a history of two-a-days, but aerobic work to this magnitude was foreign to him. It was pure hell at first but just like everything else the body adapted to the stress. An even more ferocious, energized, and high motor Hendrix is about to be unleashed on the NSFL in S3, which is a scary thought indeed. (230)
