| FROM LBS Current Students Blog: Sports and fun |
|
Sports & Fun After the more serious post of last time, this will cheer you up and make you wonder why you aren’t already here! Sports is one of the many corners of my previous blogpost’s picture. Depending on your preference you attach importance to juggling sports and the accompanying fun into your schedule. Or at least, that’s true for the sports part; you will never be able to escape the fun part! Start to Run, Color Run and LBS Mile Trial Sports have not been very high on my to-do list before coming to London, I said to myself I was working too hard to free up time. Positive stimulations and a friend sharing a ‘start-to-run’ podcast, my good intentions drove me towards starting to run in London. As I was not much of a runner before, I didn’t know I would be still running and enjoying it as much as I do. I started swimming as the school has a great swimming pool and that was my favorite sport, but running took over quite quickly. ![]() My brand new first running shoes since high school Halfway through the first term, a classmate organized for an LBS delegation to go to the Color Run in London. I was not quite ready for my first contest, as I was still following the podcast forcing me to alternately run and walk during 30 minutes. But I was quickly told it is more fun than really running. That’s exactly what it turned out to be, and I did finish my 5 km, alternately running and walking while having a lot of fun with my classmates. You can find proof below Before ![]() And after! ![]() The running club at school also organized the LBS Mile Trial. A contest between streams (the MBA has 5 streams of each ~80 students) and staff or other programs to run the most miles together in November. That’s when I downloaded Strava, my running app now joining me on all my runs – even if the weight of my smartphone in my pockets is sometimes more than what my running pants can actually hold. Yeah I know, I definitely need to buy some better equipment. My contributions to the Stream E result were only minor, but it does feel good to have come fourth at the contest. How do they say it again, participating is more important than winning! Women’s Touch Rugby Club goes to Fontainebleau Discovering a sport I never knew existed is and playing it twice a week shortly after, is rather unusual, except at LBS. The WTRC is an active club recruiting many women to join not only to play together but also to have fun and prepare for the recruiting season. Our great coaches have put a lot of effort in learning more than 50 newbie ruggers how to perform a three-man drive, pass smoothly and to score a try, or try to score a try! I have eternal respect for their patience and what they managed to achieve. Thanks to Snatch and RuPaul for your dedication. Very quickly we played a mini-tournament in London and took it internationally with a tournament at Insead. We travelled for a weekend with the Eurostar direction Paris and Fontainebleau and kicked Insead’s ass! Together with some party, it was the best cocktail for fun! In the picture below, you can see that we quite outnumbered the Insead women! They were luckily joined by some guys to make us able to play against them at least. LBS rules!! ![]() People ask sometimes how transformational the MBA experience can be, and I must admit it certainly works for me. Already on this single corner of the different facets of the MBA, I feel being in London spending precious time around all these great people makes you do crazy stuff! Next time you’ll hear something more about the famous Belgium Trek that the Belgians organized in the first term. I must say, a big success story! Just to keep you interested! Eva |
