Golden State Warriors Training Camp Links - Day 1

It's day 1 of the 2010 Training camp, and the players did some running and conditioning tests. They say it's a 2-a-day practice, which I think means there will be a morning practice and an evening practice. Here's stuff that I found after the morning practice. If there's a bunch more stuff after the evening practice, I'll update and add an update note. If it's just a bit of stuff added, I'll add a comment only.

Edit1: According to the practice photo captions, the team is scheduled to have six consecutive 2-a-day practice sessions. Morning sessions will be conditioning exercises. Evening sessions will be competitive basketball activities.

Update: Found some warriors.com footage of the Day 1 evening practice session. The evening practice session consisted more basketball action, and it certainly pumped me up for the season. You can briefly see Udoh going through the motions on his own on a side court.
