After finishing Kapow training I headed straight to Herd training. Having the use of a bike now is very useful now that I'm heading from one training to another in one day, considering the Boris bikes don't go out of central London (much). It also means my muscles keep relatively warm between trainings, which is useful in the cold weather.
Herd training had been going for a while and, like Kapow, was teaching open field offense and endzone offense. The two teams have quite different ideas about offense, but it wasn't too difficult to transition between the two trainings. Herd trainings are always well attended due to having two teams at them, which allowed the drills to be split between two groups. The game afterwards was the first team against the second team with the first team gaining a small lead and keeping it throughout. The teams aren't completely selected as of now, and I think it will be quite difficult to make final decisions as there is a set of the players who are established first team players and a set which are clearly second team players, but there is a quite big group who could go either way. The Herd lost quite a few players from last year's first team so I don't really know what to expect from this year, but considering we had quite a few disappointing results last season and we're having a retooling of the teams, combined with the return of the GB players it should be an interesting year in the mixed division.
