stretched and rolled later. actually felt alright. going to go for a trail type run today, not too hard, but hope to loosen up the legs and get the blood flowing.
as for this past weekend. whew. i was extremely frustrated at the start of saturday. i warmed up and had felt ok, but was hoping that my legs would respond a little bit better. but, they didn't. sluggish and with no pop. i started honestly thinking to myself that maybe i was done playing and needed to quit. i think a lot of these feelings are tied to my knee not feeling very good. during the offseason, i worked hard to prevent any injuries and getting myself into shape for the season and as soon as i had the opportunity to play, i got injured. as the next game went on, i started to feel better, but still not great. by our third game, i had finally found a bit of a stride and some strength and felt more confident. but by this time, extreme fatigue had started to set in, as well as dehydration. (we had slept on a concrete patio at the fields the night before, through a wickedly serious thunderstorm and rain.) excuse, but a fact nonetheless.
sunday morning came and i felt better than i thought i would. the knee was sore, but holding up. really started to find some rhythm in this game and was able to play a lot of points.
as our quarters game wrapped up and we had a quick break, my body started to tighten up pretty bad. not sure what happened, could have been dehydration and possibly more fatigue, but once i was able to loosen back up, was pretty happy on a personal level with my cutting and decisions in this game. not happy with execution as a team and very excited to get out on the practice field and iron that stuff out.
pretty solid wake-up call to the necessity of drinking more and eating more salt. after both saturday and sunday play, i was nauseous and woozy. be better about that.

Good to hear that you were able to loosen the knee up. I've been finding that with my ailments they actually feel better Sunday and usually lock up pretty quick on Saturday's. I'm considering doing something moderately strenuous on the next Friday before a tournament just to see if I warm better on Saturday. just an idea. who's all playing with you guys right now anyway?
that's an interesting idea about friday. i have found that going for a moderately aggressive trail run of about 20-25 minutes the day before has helped with my saturday warmup. something to toy around with a little bit more. we have some returners and some other people that i am not too familiar with. give me a call when you get back and we can head to lift city.
