NOTHING says welcome back like a two-kilometre time trial.

Carlton's first day back to pre-season training last Friday was met with the classic run around Princes Park.

On a day where historical time-trial kings Ollie Hollands and Matthew Cottrell didn't run, it was train-on player Will White who recorded the quickest time, while young Blues Matthew Carroll, Jagga Smith and Lucas Camporeale rounded out the top five.

That's not to discount the effort of Blake Acres, who finished in second.
