I must say that the Training camp schedule sucked this year. In part due to some rain but also due to the 2 concerts on consecutive saturdays and due to the multiple practices that started at 4:30 and 2:30 (I know the 2:30s were normal but the 4:30 used to be 5:30s). The 4:30 means I could rush there from work and still miss most of the practice but 5:30 meant all I would miss was the warm ups and maybe a few individual drills.
It was real tough for me this year I live in Foxboro and the past few years I had been working a summer job while I was at school which was a very flexible schedual which meant I went to tons of practices. And now I have a full time job and I only have so many days off which I save for road trips so I only made like 4 practices this year.
The number would have actually been decent had they had Sat practices those first few weeks, no rain, and some 5:30s.
